>>>
>>>
>>> Following our discussion during the last EC monthly meeting, please find
>>> my proposal for the next NCUC webinar for *Monday, 28 September 2026 at
>>> 14:30 UTC*, with a duration of *90 minutes*. This would follow the same

>>>
>>>
>>>
>>> *Proposed Topic  : AI, DNS Abuse and the Open Internet: Protecting
>>> Non-Commercial Users.*
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>> *Brief Description*
>>>
>>> The session would build on the previous NCUC webinar and continue the
>>> discussion around open Internet infrastructure, emerging technologies,
>>> Internet governance, and the protection of non-commercial interests.
>>>
>>> The webinar would focus on how artificial intelligence is changing both
>>> DNS abuse and the way DNS abuse is detected and mitigated. It would look at
>>> the growing use of AI and automated tools in security and enforcement,
>>> while also considering issues that are particularly relevant to NCUC, such
>>> as false positives, over-enforcement, privacy, due process, accountability,
>>> and the possible impact on legitimate non-commercial registrants and users.
>>>
>>> The aim would be to bring together technical, operational, governance,
>>> and public-interest perspectives and discuss how effective DNS security
>>> measures can be developed without compromising the openness of the Internet
>>> or the rights of non-commercial users.
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>> *Proposed Speakers*
>>>
>>>    - *Ram Mohan* – DNS security, resilience, AI, and technical policy ( *will
>>>    ask Ram if he prefers to delegate a member of SSAC if not available*
>>>    ).
>>>    - *Tatiana Tropina* – cybersecurity, DNS abuse, Internet governance,
>>>    and digital rights
>>>    - *Brian Cimbolic* – registry operations and practical DNS abuse
>>>    mitigation
>>>    - *Bruce Tonkin* – Internet governance, accountability, and
>>>    registrant protection
>>>    -
>>>
>>> Together, these speakers could provide a balanced discussion across
>>> technical, policy, operational, governance, and public-interest
>>> perspectives.
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>> *Proposed Date and Time*
>>>
>>> *Monday, 28 September 2026*
>>> *14:30 UTC*
>>> *Duration: 90 minutes*
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>> *Proposed Work Timeline*
>>>
>>> Following EC approval, I suggest the following steps:
>>>
>>> *1. Save the Date and Registration Announcement*
>>> An initial “Save the Date” announcement would be shared with the *NCUC,
>>> NPOC, and NCSG mailing lists*, including the session title, a short
>>> description, the date and time, and the registration link.
>>>
>>> *2. Speaker Outreach and Confirmation*
>>> We would then contact the proposed speakers, share the session concept
>>> and key discussion areas, and ask for their availability and confirmation.
>>>
>>> *3. Speaker and Session Publicity*
>>> Approximately *two weeks after the initial Save the Date announcement*,
>>> and once the speakers are confirmed, we would publish a second announcement
>>> introducing the confirmed speakers and providing more details about the
>>> session.
>>>
>>> Further reminders and promotion could then follow closer to the webinar
>>> date through the relevant NCUC/NCSG communication channels.
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>> I would appreciate your feedback on the proposed topic, speakers, date,
>>> and work timeline. Once we have the EC’s agreement, we can move forward
>>> with the Save the Date announcement and speaker outreach.
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>> Best regards,
>>>
