>>>>> 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?
