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

[James Gannon]

That's an entirely different conversation to the one about thit ability of registrars to enforce their TOS.

Also note no registry, RIR or indeed ICANN itself has been involved in this specific issue

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

Being honest, I’m not sure of the relevance to ICANN here.
If we were at a Cloudflare conference I would agree as noted there is no process in that space.

But in ICANN space, there is policy which is being followed to the letter. There is no denial of access to infrastructure occurring here. 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 personally wouldn’t support the hosting of such a discussion, as most of the unanswered questions exist outside the ICANN space and thus this meeting wouldn’t be appropriate venue.

I would support this discussion taking place. I find the NCSG agenda is usually a bit more open, and NCUC agenda often pretty packed.

Hello all,

EFF has just posted its thoughts on the GoDaddy and Google termination of the Daily Stormer's domain:

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2017/08/fighting-neo-nazis-future-free-expression

This would be a timely topic to address in more detail at ICANN 60.  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>".

What are the avenues for holding such a presentation?  Is there already a block of time for NCSG where this would fit in, or should a separate session be requested?  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.

Thanks.
