Session Details
DNS Abuse Mitigation remains an evergreen area of concern for the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) and the At-Large Community. It is also one of the key focus areas for ICANN’s Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO), and with its two latest initiatives in this area - the Inferential Analysis of Maliciously Registered Domains (INFERMAL) Project, and Domain Metrica - coming out in late 2024, the ALAC is taking the opportunity to host a session with OCTO for the At-Large Community to better understand both the role of OCTO and these two initiatives in mitigating DNS Abuse.

Session Details
The ALAC and At-Large community continue to believe that more can be done to combat DNS abuse on a number of fronts. Apart from strengthening the ICANN organization’s ability to take action against errant ICANN Contracted Parties that fail to carry out their contractual obligations in mitigating DNS Abuse, the ALAC intends to explore ways to more effectively mitigate harm emanating from maliciously registered domain names before such harm can be inflicted on Internet end-users. To this end, beginning with ICANN83, the ALAC will convene a series of collaborative conversations involving the ICANN community, to support stronger understanding of continuing widespread DNS abuse cases for better scoping and identification of possible solutions for the same. This session aims to collaboratively:Review more recent initiatives targeted at mitigating DNS Abuse Identify and scope types of DNS abuse perpetrated using maliciously registered domain names which continue to occur rampantlyExplore feasible mitigation solutions and possible paths to secure such solutionsAgenda: https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/x/bABSD

Session Details
This session explores the human rights implications of disclosing private and personal data of domain name registrants. It will examine how registrars evaluate urgency, and make disclosure decisions while respecting privacy, freedom of expression, and due process. It also discusses third party requestors (especially law enforcement agencies) authentication practices.
We will also discuss the role of data accuracy and whether ICANN’s experimental Registration Data Request Services (RDRS) can provide sufficient safeguards and transparency for the triage of third-party requests. The session will consider how registrars balance obligations with fundamental rights and whether a rapid Human Rights Impact Assessment (HRIA) framework could support more consistent, rights-respecting disclosure practices.
Organized by NCSG in consultation with subject matter experts from different stakeholder groups, this session aims to advance community dialogue on aligning disclosure mechanisms with ICANN’s multistakeholder model and international human rights standards.
