| Phase 3 | Phase Update | ICANN sent a letter (https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/olive-to-zuck-13oct23-en.pdf) to the ALAC regarding this Advice item. |

| Phase 3 | Phase Change | Now Phase 3 |
| Phase 2 | AP Feedback | Any AUP should contain language about the actual mitigation of abuse. The vague language in the existing contracts that require only that the parties "have a policy," is obviously insufficient in some cases. Again, as a matter of interpretation, the idea of a having a measurably "effective" AUP seems reasonable and rational. If the system does consistently does not result in the mitigation of abuse, the argument can be made that the spirit of the contract has been violated. |
| Phase 2 | AP Feedback | ICANN received confirmation of understanding. |
| Phase 2 | Phase Update | Clarifying Questions sent to ALAC. |
| Phase 2 | Clarifying Question | ICANN org requests clarification of this ALAC advice. Does ALAC advise the Board to direct ICANN org to cause Contracted Parties to obligate registrants to comply with an acceptable use policy that prohibits the registration and/or use of domain name for criminal or otherwise abusive purposes? Alternatively, does ALAC advise the Board to direct ICANN org to obligate Contracted Parties to take specified steps with respect to registrations used in the course of criminal or otherwise abusive conduct? If not, please clarify ALAC's advice. With respect to implementation of this recommendation, and taking into account that ALAC is empowered to initiate discussions leading to the creation of a PDP, ICANN org understands that ALAC advises the Board either to (1) initiate a PDP by calling for an Issue Report on this topic (ii) or cause ICANN org to enter into voluntary negotiations with Contracted Parties to implement ALAC's advice. If this understanding is incorrect, what is ALAC's recommendation with respect to development and adoption of an "anti-crime, anti-abuse" Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) that includes enforcement? |
