ICANN reported that they have chosen the Carnegie Mellon University of Pittsburgh,PA,USA,Cylab to conduct a set of gTLD Whois Misuse Studies.
The Carnegie Mellon University team will survey gTLD domain registrants about Whois misuse incidents they have experienced and "use experiments to measure how well anti-harvesting measures reduce Whois misuse."
Moreover,the team will also survey registries,registrars and other cybercrime researchers and law enforcement organiztionz about reported case of misuse.
"These complementary studies are expected to provide the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council with the empirical data needed to assess community concerns about misused Whois contact information and inform any resulting policy changes. ICANN looks forward to working with CMU to apply their cybercrime expertise and experience to this challenging topic." says Liz Gasster ,in a post .
