Krebs on Security : Who’s Behind the DomainNetworks Snail Mail Scam?
by Dev Anand Teelucksingh July 3, 2023

July 3, 2023

"If you’ve ever owned a domain name, the chances are good that at some point you’ve received a snail mail letter which appears to be a bill for a domain or website-related services. In reality, these misleading missives try to trick people into paying for useless services they never ordered, don’t need, and probably will never receive. Here’s a look at the most recent incarnation of this scam — *DomainNetworks* — and some clues about who may be behind it." https://krebsonsecurity.com/2023/07/whos-behind-the-domainnetworks-snail-ma…

WEBCAST JUN 22- CITI Governance – Function Follows Form: The Proposed UN Digital Cooperation Forum
by Joly MacFie June 22, 2023

June 22, 2023

This has just kicked off. REAL TIME TEXT https://bit.ly/44hazU3 [image: isoc live] <http://isoc.live/16659>On *Thursday June 22 2023* at *11:00-12:30 EDT* (15:00-16:30 UTC) the *Columbia Institute for Tele-Information <http://%3Ciframe%20id%3D%22ls_embed_1687444376%22%20src%3D%22https//livestream.com/accounts/686369/events/10889926/player?width=600&height=338&enableInfoAndActivity=true&defaultDrawer=&autoPlay=false&mute=false%22%20width=%22600%22%20height=%22338%22%20frameborder=%220%22%20scrolling=%22no%22%20allowfullscreen%3E%20%3C/iframe%3E>*, as part of its *Global Digital Governance* series, presents a webinar '*Function Follows Form: The Proposed UN Digital Cooperation Forum <https://citifunctionfollowsform.eventbrite.com/>*'. On June 5, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres presented a *policy brief <https://documents-dds-ny.un.org/doc/UNDOC/GEN/N23/116/76/PDF/N2311676.pdf> *on his *Global Digital Compact <https://www.un.org/techenvoy/global-digital-compact>* initiative to the General Assembly. Among the brief’s ideas is a proposal to create an annual *Digital Cooperation Forum* (DCF). This new UN forum would not be a negotiation body, but would instead foster action-oriented dialogue and analysis concerning international cooperation on digital policy issues. A proposal like this has been anticipated since the SG’s High-level Panel on Digital Cooperation issued its report in 2019. The case for a DCF is being championed in particular by the Secretary-General’s Envoy on Technology. The proposal has yet to garner support but will be discussed by a ministerial meeting in September 2023 that is to help prepare the groundwork for the UN’s *2024 Summit of the Future <https://www.un.org/en/common-agenda/summit-of-the-future>*. The policy brief states that the DCF would coexist with existing bodies and processes like the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) in an integrated hub and spoke system. However, aside from its presumably broader scope, in many respects the DCF appears to duplicate the IGF. Given that the IGF has long faced challenges from those governments that are unhappy with its multistakeholder character, the existence of a comparatively intergovernmental DFC could complicate the renewal of the IGF’s mandate at the 2025 WSIS+20 review. In addition, there are a number of other issues raised by proposing a new forum without specifying its substantive focus and institutional modalities or assessing the demand for one. The experiences over the past twenty years with failed proposals to create new institutions for global Internet and digital governance merits consideration in this context. An inclusive dialogue is needed to determine whether the DCF vision can overcomes the potential barriers to its realization or at least contribute to strengthening international cooperation in other settings. To help with that task, this webinar assembles a panel of expert participants in the debate about the United Nations’ role in global digital cooperation and governance. The group will assess the driving issues and interests, potential negotiation dynamics and outcomes, and larger digital governance implications of the DCF proposal. *INTRODUCTION* *Eli Noam*, Paul Garrett Professor, Emeritus / Director, Columbia Institute for Tele-Information *PANEL* *Fiona M.

WEBCAST JUN 6 – topDNS Best Practice Series: How to reduce Abuse through Quality
by Joly MacFie June 6, 2023

June 6, 2023

This is underway. Apologies I was a little late starting up the Real Time Text as I wrangled GoToWebinar. QPI is a thing! [image: ISOC LIVE] <https://isoc.live/16614>On *Tuesday June 6 2023* at *15:00 UTC Public Interest Registry <https://pir.org/>* (PIR), *Realtime Register <https://realtimeregister.com/>*, & *eco's topDNS Initiative <https://international.eco.de/topics/names-numbers/topdns/>* host a webinar '*topDNS Best Practice Series: How to reduce Abuse through Quality <https://international.eco.de/event/topdns-best-practice-series-how-to-reduc…>*'. This is the first in a series of topDNS best practice webinars to showcase what the domain name industry is doing to fight DNS abuse. In 2019 PIR launched an incentive program with domain registrars to combat DNS abuse and improve the quality of the .ORG domain space. The concept is to improve the quality of registered domain names, resulting in higher renewal rates for expiring domain names (a key financial goal for registrars). The program provides registrars with tools and best practices to improve the quality of registered .org domains and creates a "*Quality Performance Index*" (QPI) scorecard to measure results. Our speakers will discuss the why, how, and results of implementing QPI. *SPEAKERS* *Brian Cimbolic*, Vice President, General Counsel, Public Interest Registry *Theo Geurts*, CIPP/E Privacy & GRC Officer, Realtime Register *HOST* *Lars Steffen*, Director International, eco – Association of the Internet Industry *LIVESTREAM http://livestream.com/internetsociety/topdns-qpi <http://livestream.com/internetsociety/topdns-qpi>* *PARTICIPATE VIA GOTOWEBINAR https://bit.ly/3OIJZyi <https://bit.ly/3OIJZyi>* *REAL TIME TEXT https://bit.ly/3NeBMAN <https://bit.ly/3NeBMAN>* *TWITTER #topDNS <https://bit.ly/3WTJqnn> #QPI @eco_EN Brian Cimbolic @PIRegistry Theo Geurts @realtime_reg #DNS* *MASTODON #topDNS <https://mastodon.social/tags/topDNS>* *SIMULCASTS* *https://www.twitch.tv/isoclive <https://www.twitch.tv/isoclive>* *https://www.facebook.com/liveisoc/ <https://www.facebook.com/liveisoc/>* *ARCHIVE* *https://archive.org/details/topdns-qpi <https://archive.org/details/topdns-qpi>* Permalink https://isoc.live/16614 -- -------------------------------------- Joly MacFie +12185659365 -------------------------------------- - -- -------------------------------------- Joly MacFie +12185659365 -------------------------------------- -
