Back in Dublin we had discussed having a session on intermediary
liability as it affects the domain name industry.  The idea is to push
back against the notion that registries and registrars are responsible
for policing the content of websites hosted at their domains, and also
to keep a watch on industry schemes such as the Healthy Domains Initiative.

This would also tie in with two EFF/joint campaigns, firstly the Manila
Principles on Intermediary Liability, and second our soon-to-be-launched
"Shadow Regulation" project which is about how industry agreements can
have real regulatory impacts on users which avoid public scrutiny and
accountability.

I would love to be involved in promoting this as a high interest topic,
either through NCUC or separately.
