1.      Roll-call

Subject: [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_wor
king_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

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?
