Abuse Reporting Platform

Nominet utilises  CleanDNS to standardise abuse reporting, evidence gathering and storage, and notification workflows. Our commitment to transparency ensures that reports are handled efficiently and contain actionable information.  

Nominet is committed to working in close partnership with registrars to address abuse effectively and will notify registrars by default so that they can act proportionately.  

How is the platform used by Nominet?  

Abuse reports are managed through cases within the platform. Emails notifying of reported abuse will be sent to registrars once the report has been validated. These emails contain a link to the demonstrated evidence, providing a more streamlined and transparent process.  

Nominet analysts will continue to conduct investigations into reports of potential abuse and make decisions on which cases should be sent to registrars and registrants for action.  

Does this only apply to .UK?   

The platform will be used to process abuse for all TLDs that Nominet is the Registry Operator for or those on Nominet’s RSP platform. This means gTLD registrars should expect to receive notifications of abuse via the platform. A full list of TLDs in scope can be found here.
