>>> Session name :    How DNS Abuse Mitigation Impacts Civil Society and
>>> End Users
>>>
>>> Description:
>>>
>>> DNS abuse mitigation has become an increasingly important part of
>>> maintaining a secure and trustworthy Internet. Registries, registrars, and
>>> other stakeholders are expected to respond promptly to threats such as
>>> phishing, malware, and botnets. However, these efforts can unintentionally
>>> affect legitimate domain name holders, especially civil society
>>> organizations and individual end users.
>>>
>>> Domain suspensions and takedowns are sometimes implemented with limited
>>> transparency, unclear procedures, or inadequate opportunities for
>>> registrants to seek review. The growing use of automated detection tools
>>> and third-party reporting has caused concerns about accuracy,
>>> accountability, and the impact on lawful online activities. These issues
>>> are often more acute in developing countries, where registrants may have
>>> limited access to legal remedies, face language barriers, and lack
>>> resources to navigate complex processes. Similar concerns are also emerging
>>> in developed regions.
>>>
>>> The session will look at the way civil society organisations and end
>>> users experience DNS abuse mitigation policies in various regions, with
>>> representatives from civil society, the technical community, the parties
>>> that have been contracted, and the internet governance community providing
>>> practical experiences, pointing out the gaps in transparency and due
>>> process, and debating how to put into practice effective abuse mitigation
>>> that respects fundamental rights.
>>>
>>> The session, by concentrating on real-world experiences, seeks to
>>> promote a well-balanced discussion concerning the strengthening of
>>> responses to DNS abuse while at the same time preserving freedom of
>>> expression, just access to domain names, and trust in the Internet
>>> ecosystem; it will also point out opportunities for developing more
>>> transparent, accountable and rights-respecting approaches which support
>>> both Internet security and end users.
>>>
>>>
>>> Policy Questions
>>>
>>> A- How can DNS abuse mitigation frameworks effectively address security
>>> threats while ensuring transparency, due process, and accountability for
>>> civil society organizations and end users?
>>>
>>> B- What safeguards and best practices are needed to reduce unintended
>>> harm from DNS abuse enforcement, particularly when automated detection
>>> systems and third-party reporting mechanisms are used?
>>>
>>> C- How can the Internet governance community ensure that DNS abuse
>>> mitigation policies are implemented consistently across different regions
>>> while taking into account local challenges, capacity constraints, and the
>>> protection of fundamental rights?
