>> 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

>> 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.
>>
>> *Key objectives include:*
>>
>> ·         Examining the real-world impacts of DNS abuse mitigation on
>> civil society and end users
>>
>> ·         Identifying transparency, accountability, and due process gaps
>> in current practices
>>
>> ·         Elevating perspectives from developing regions alongside
>> challenges faced in developed contexts
>>
>> ·         Strengthening NCUC’s policy advocacy through evidence-based
>> insights
>>
>> The discussion will feature a diverse, multi-stakeholder panel,
>> comprising civil society and digital rights advocates, technical and
>> security experts, representatives of contracted parties, and regional
>> voices.
