In April 2022, the Office of the Chief Technology Officer ([[OCTO]]) announced its plan to process the DSFI-TSG proposals. Although the DSFI-TSG recommendations were beyond the scope of the [[AC|Action Request Register]], which is for [[ICANN Board]] advice, the OCTO is using the ARR framework for the DSFI_TSG recommendations. The four phases of this process are: understand, evaluate, consult the [[ICANN Community]], and implementation.<ref>[https://www.icann.org/en/blogs/details/icann-is-developing-a-process-for-evaluating-dsfi-tsg-recommendations-20-04-2022-en DSFI-TSG Recommendation Implementation Process]</ref>

# Help the [[ICANN Community]], contracted parties, and others understand the risks and benefits of DNS [[RBL|Blocking]] and filtering for [[SSR|security and stability reasons]], best practices, tooling for DNS interdependencies to avoid large-scale collateral damage, using the Public Suffix List ([[PSL]]), sharing lists to avoid overblocking, and general reputation hygiene

Of these recommendations, the TSG said the two top priorities for ICANN were conducting a study and offering a report on best practices for authentication against the different roles and risks in the DNS and encouraging the development and deployment of a formalized incident-response process across the DNS industry that allows for interaction with others in the ecosystem.
