<p>The session will explore the real-world implications of DNS abuse mitigation for civil society and end users, with a particular focus on how enforcement measures operate in practice and whether current approaches adequately protect due process and human
rights. The webinar aims to bridge the gap between policy development and implementation while amplifying perspectives from diverse regions.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>We would especially value insights that could address:<br>
(i) current actions and strategies undertaken by registrars in DNS abuse mitigation;<br>
(ii) where possible, the intersection between DNS abuse enforcement and human rights, including due process, freedom of expression, and privacy; and<br>
(iii) practical challenges registrars encounter when responding to third-party requests related to DNS abuse.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The webinar will bring together speakers from the technical community, civil society, and policy spaces and is open to participants from across ICANN and the broader Internet governance ecosystem.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Please find attached the draft concept note, which outlines the objectives and structure of the session in more detail.<o:p></o:p></p>
