ICANN Contractual Compliance plans to convene a roundtable discussion, during ICANN54, to discuss whether any of these might provide a model for registrars and registries to voluntarily adopt standard practices to combat abuse and illegal activity. This discussion will revolve around the role that the adoption of voluntary self-regulatory practices by contracted parties in these areas may play in combatting abuse and illegal activity; it is not intended to lead to mandated practices.

I look forward to continuing dialogue with the community regarding ways to address illegal activity and abuse. Please join us on Wednesday, 21 October 2015 in Dublin for the session entitled Role of Voluntary Practices in Combatting Abuse and Illegal Activity.
