The Security Response Waiver (SRW) service was established for gTLD registries to request a contractual waiver for actions it might take, or has taken, to mitigate or eliminate a present or imminent security incident to a gTLD and/or the DNS. A contractual waiver is an exemption from compliance with a specific provision of the Registry Agreement for the time period necessary to respond to the incident. The SRW has been designed to allow operational security to be maintained around an incident while keeping relevant parties (e.g., ICANN org, other affected providers) informed as appropriate.
In August 2021, ICANN org expanded the Expedited Registry Security Response (ERSR) service to enable registrars to submit waiver requests. As a result, the ERSR service was renamed the Security Response Waiver (SRW) service.
This section provides information on the outcomes of requests for Security Response Waivers (SRWs) for registry operators and registrars, including those previously referred to as Expedited Registry Security Requests (ERSRs). ICANN org will update the below data on an annual basis and will include registrar related data from 2021 onward.
ICANN org publishes the below metrics (M) by calendar year.
SRW metrics are also available on the ICANN Open Data Platform at opendata.icann.org (registration required).

Summary Analysis of SRW Requests
This section provides information on the outcomes of requests for Security Response Waivers (SRWs) for registry operators and registrars, including those previously referred to as Expedited Registry Security Requests (ERSRs). ICANN org will update the below data on an annual basis and will include registrar related data from 2021 onward.
ICANN org publishes the below metrics (M) by calendar year.
- M1: Total number of requests received
- M2: Number of generic top-level domains (gTLDs) covered by requests
- M3: Approximate Number of Impacted Domains. *Note: These numbers do not include ongoing actions such as those taken by registry operators, registrars, law enforcement agencies, and closed court orders.
- M4: Number of requests made in advance of action taken on the domain names vs. after action was taken on the domain names
- M5: Outcome of the Request – (i) new waiver, (ii) update to an existing waiver, (iii) determination that the request is in scope of an existing waiver, or (iv) determination that a waiver will not be granted
SRW metrics are also available on the ICANN Open Data Platform at opendata.icann.org (registration required).
