Domain Locking, sometimes referred to as Registry or Registrar-locking, is the service provided by registries or registrars to "lock" a domain name so that it cannot be transferred or altered without the explicit permission of the registrant. If a lock is in place, the registrant must request that the name be "unlocked" before such changes can be made. In February 2021, the GNSO initiated a Policy Development Process to review ICANN's transfer policies. It was spurred in part by policy considerations associated with ICANN's Temporary Specification and Expedited Policy Development Process in response to the EU GDPR.

-The '''[[Statistical Analysis of DNS Abuse in gTLDs Final Report]]''' was released in August 2017 and measured rates of common forms of abusive activities in the [[DNS|Domain Name System]]. It was commissioned by the Competition, Consumer Trust, and Consumer Choice Review Team with the support of ICANN. Maciej Korczy, Maarten Wullink, Samaneh Tajalizadehkhoob, Giovane Moura, and Cristian Hesselman authored the study. The study combines data sets from zone files, domain WHOIS information, ICANN active measurements, and 11 [[RBL]] representing [[malware]], [[phishing]], and spam. The results of the study indicate that abuse counts primarily correlate with stricter registration policies. This report offers a comprehensive descriptive statistical comparison of rates of DNS abuse in new and legacy gTLDs as they pertain to spam, phishing, and malware distribution. Using regression modeling, this performance of inferential statistical analysis also tested the correlation between passively and actively measured properties of new gTLDs as predictors of rates of abuse. This report also analyzed proportions of abusive domains across other relevant to abusive practices players, such as registrars and privacy/proxy service providers.

If a lock is in place, the registrant must request that the name be "unlocked" before such changes can be made. In February 2021, the GNSO initiated a [[Policy Development Process]] to review ICANN's transfer policies.
