A recent Domain Incite post reports that “ICANN said that it has been working with .TOP for months to put in systems aimed at reducing the abuse of .top domains” and that ICANN Compliance “acknowledged that the remedial measures were sufficient to cure the Notice of Breach.”

I commented to Domain Incite’s Kevin Murphy on LinkedIn that “A good show of faith would be for .TOP to provide Registration Data Directory Service without the excessive rate limiting so researchers, responders and investigators can determine the domain registrar at least at the same rate that they are registering domains that are quickly blocklisted.”

Read .TOP promises to reduce abuse. Offer a show of good faith.
