<p>Dear Theo Geurts,</p>
<p>I hope this message finds you well.</p>
<p>On behalf of the Non-Commercial Users Constituency (NCUC), it is my pleasure to invite you to participate as a speaker in our upcoming NCUC Quarterly Webinar titled
<strong>“From Policy to Practice: How DNS Abuse Mitigation Impacts Civil Society and End Users”.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Webinar Details:</strong><br>
</p>

<ul>
<li><strong>Date:</strong> Wednesday, 11 February 2026</li><li><strong>Time:</strong> 15:00 UTC</li><li><strong>Duration:</strong> 80 minutes</li><li><strong>Format:</strong> Online (Zoom)</li><li><strong>Zoom registration:</strong> <a disabled>https://icann.zoom.us/meeting/register/R_xUKLZGSzOTOaNknOEhSw</a></li><li><strong>Time zone converter:</strong> <a disabled>https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=NCUC+Quarterly+Webinar&iso=20260211T15&p1=1440&ah=1&am=20</a></li></ul>
<p></p>
</blockquote>
<div>
<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.</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.</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.</p>
<p>Please find attached the draft concept note, which outlines the objectives and structure of the session in more detail.</p>
