Hi Wisdom, Andrea,

Thank you very much for thinking of me for this session! I would be delighted to moderate this NCUC webinar.

Additionally, if I can be of further assistance, please let me know. I would be more than happy to suggest speakers for the remaining panelist slots if that would be helpful.

Best,

Michaela

Dear Michaela,
I hope this message finds you well.
I am pleased to invite you to serve as the moderator for the NCUC Quarterly Webinar for the first quarter of 2026, titled:
“From Policy to Practice: How DNS Abuse Mitigation Impacts Civil Society and End Users”
📅 Date: Wednesday, 11 February 2026
🕒 Time: 15:00 UTC
⏱ Duration: 80 minutes
🌐 Format: Online (Zoom)
👉 Please click to register here to receive the Zoom details<https://icann.zoom.us/meeting/register/R_xUKLZGSzOTOaNknOEhSw>
🕰 Click to check your time zone:<https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=NCUC+Quarterly+Webinar&iso=20260211T15&p1=1440&ah=1&am=20>
The webinar will bring together a diverse, multi-stakeholder panel including civil society and digital rights advocates, technical and security experts, contracted party representatives, and regional voices. The discussion will explore the practical implementation of DNS abuse mitigation policies, their impacts on civil society and end users, and opportunities to strengthen policy advocacy based on evidence from multiple regions.
You have been proposed by the NCUC EC to moderate this webinar since you are a subject matter expert on this topic. I have also discussed the initial draft of the concept note with Farzaneh, and she has reviewed it and provided input to the proposal. Since you are one of the subject matter experts on this topic, you are equally welcome to suggest any edits or additions to enhance the webinar content.
We would be honoured to have you moderate this session and guide the discussion to ensure an engaging, insightful, and balanced conversation. Details of speakers will be shared soon.
Please let me know at your earliest convenience if you are available to moderate. If you have any questions or need further information, do not hesitate to reach out.
We very much hope you will be able to join us in this important conversation.

Kind regards,
