This webinar will examine the real-world impacts of DNS abuse mitigation measures on civil society and end users, with particular attention to how these measures affect users and organizations in developing regions, including Africa. The discussion will explore implementation practices, due process considerations, transparency, and unintended consequences, while highlighting regional experiences and perspectives.

The session is open to all, and we warmly encourage AFRALO members, ALSes, and African Internet governance stakeholders to attend and actively engage in the discussion. We would also appreciate your support in sharing this invitation within AFRALO networks and related platforms.
