> DNS abuse mitigation has become a central focus within the ICANN
> ecosystem, with growing expectations on registries and registrars to take
> proactive enforcement actions. While these measures are essential for
> maintaining trust and security in the DNS, their real-world implementation
> has raised significant concerns for civil society and end users, including
> transparency, due process, over-enforcement, and unintended impacts across
> different regions.
>
> This webinar will examine how DNS abuse mitigation policies are applied in
> real-world contexts across both developing and developed regions. It will
> highlight lived experiences, regional disparities, and policy gaps, while
> exploring safeguards and best practices that can ensure effective abuse
> mitigation without undermining fundamental rights.

> in current practices
