[NCUC-EC] IGF NCUC proposal session

[Pedro de Perdigão Lana]

Hi Amine!

Looks good to me.

We just need to invite people somewhat quickly; the deadline was extended,
but just for a few days. It'll end on 02/08, and diversity (regional, race,
gender, and stakeholder group) will be interpreted very strictly, so
panelists need to be chosen carefully.

Cordially,

*Pedro de Perdigão Lana*

>
> 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?
