[NCUC-DISCUSS] Session on termination of domains for hate speech at ICANN 60

[Ayden Férdeline]

Hi,

In case it is helpful, please find attached the preliminary block schedule for ICANN 60.

It is really a shame we cannot have this discussion as a cross-community High Interest Topic at ICANN 60. I think that would be the best place for this dialogue to take place. Nonetheless, I count myself among those who would welcome this conversation taking place on Constituency Day.

And Jeremy, thanks for sharing that excellent statement on content removal and noting what a blunt instrument the suspension of a domain name is. Freedom of expression is a fundamental human right. You don't take human rights away from people just because you hate them or their views. It's kind of shocking to me how quickly some have been to throw these fundamental principles of liberalism into the bonfire.

Best wishes,

Ayden Férdeline

I will be attending and would like to be able to find some time to talk about this and also about the recent EFF and Public Knowledge whitepaper "[Which Internet registries offer the best protection for domain owners?](https://www.eff.org/wp/which-internet-registries-offer-best-protection-domain-owners)".

If so can anyone point me to the information about how to do this?  Sorry, I'm a little behind on the logistics of ICANN meetings because I seldom attend in person.
