'''RAP WG''' is the abbreviation for '''Registration Abuse Policies Working Group'''. The Generic Name Support Organization ([[GNSO]]), on 25 September 2008 adopted a motion requesting a report of issues based on the abuse provisions in the registry as well as the registrar agreements. The report highlighted the provisions involved in the registry-registrar agreements relevant to abuse and also contained several recommendations. Considering this, the GNSO Council in December 2008, agreed to Charter a Working Group to look into the open problems mentioned in the Report. It was due to this, that the RAP WG was chartered in February 2009. <ref>[http://gnso.icann.org/issues/rap/rap-wg-final-report-29may10-en.pdf gnso.icann.org]RAP WG final report, May 29, 2010; retrieved 5 June 2011</ref>
