''In 2009-2010'', the [[Registration Abuse Prevention Working Group]] (RAPWG) generated a report that distinguished between “Registration Abuse” (technical abuse) and “Use Abuse” (content abuse). Technical abuse was defined as attempts to harm the DNS infrastructure and/or using the DNS to cause harm. Content abuse was defined as harms carried out through the use of a domain name, such as through the content on a website. This category of harm includes trademark and copyright infringement, defamation, piracy, child sexual abuse, and hate speech. The RAPWG concluded that technical abuse was within ICANN’s jurisdiction but content abuse was not. However, the working group recommended the development of the Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy ([[UDRP]]) because it involved the registration and use of domain names in bad faith.<ref>[https://comlaude.com/app/uploads/2019/11/DNS-Abuse-History.pdf Com Laude History of DNS Abuse PDP]</ref>

''In 2013'', conversations between the [[GAC|Governmental Advisory Committee]] and the [[ICANN Board]] led to an amendment to [[Registry Agreements]] in 2013 to include [[Specification 11]]. [[Registry]] operators must now periodically conduct a technical analysis to assess whether domains within their [[TLD]] are used to carry out security threats, such as pharming, phishing, malware, and botnets. They must also include terms in their [[RRA]]S such that registrants are prohibited from perpetuating technical and content abuse.
