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

[Ayden Férdeline]

Hi James,

If we think less about Cloudflare and more about how the DNS is being used to determine who can and cannot disseminate knowledge and opinions, I think the conversation around which registries offer registrants the best level of protection is very relevant.

Best wishes, Ayden

There are private companies refusing service, as is their right, and ICANN policy on domain transfers within the 60 day window being applied. I don’t see where the discussion in the ICANN sphere is needed. No registry has blanket denied access to their registry, no RIR has denied access to IP space, and ICANN has not issued any policy edicts on the topic.

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.
