[gnso-rap-dt] Updated RAPWG Definitions document
Dear All, Please find attached and posted on the Wiki (https://st.icann.org/reg-abuse-wg/index.cgi?registration_abuse_policies_working_group) the updated RAPWG definitions document which includes additional columns for the different abuse categories as well as a number of variations of the definition of abuse for consideration. Please note that I have taken the liberty to add to the list a definition of misuse that was developed in the context of another GNSO Working Grouping (the Whois Study Group) which might provide some additional ideas for consideration. To facilitate the discussion on the definition of abuse on the mailing list, you will find the relevant section pasted below. Please feel free to share your comments and suggestions on the mailing list. With best regards, Marika ================== >From the RAPWG Definitions (31 March 2009) Abuse Original proposal: Malicious or wrongful use causing harm or potential harm to registrants and Internet users. Variations suggested on the RAP WG Conference Call (30 March) and Adobe Connect: a) Malicious or illegal use causing harm to registrants and Internet users b) Malicious or fraudulent use causing harm or potential harm to registrants and Internet users c) Malicious or fraudulent use causing harm or intended harm to registrants and Internet users d) Conduct which uses a domain name or IP address to cause harm or potential harm to any third party e) Malicious or fraudulent use causing harm or undue harm to registrants and Internet users f) To treat in a harmful, injurious or offensive way g) Conduct with no legitimate use or purpose which uses a domain name or IP address to cause harm or potential harm to any third party h) Malicious or wrongful use causing harm or potential harm to third parties i) Malicious or wrongful use causing harm or potential harm to the Internet Community j) An activity that imposes negative (economic or other) effects upon another party k) Misuse is an action that causes actual harm, is the predicate to such harm, is illegal or illegitimate, or is otherwise considered contrary to intention and design of a stated legitimate purpose, if such purpose is disclosed. (from the Whois Draft Working Definitions prepared by the GNSO drafting team) Questions raised: How to judge intent? Should intent be part of the definition of abuse? How do you deal with conduct / technologies that are not malicious by nature, but become abusive in the way they are being used (intent) e.g. fast flux? Should a definition include who is targeted by the abuse? How do you qualify harm or potential harm? How can harm be further defined? Attachment:
