President and Chief Executive Officer, As a representative of Ukraine in GAC ICANN, I’m sending you this letter on behalf of the people of Ukraine, asking you to address an urgent need to introduce strict sanctions against the Russian Federation in the field of DNS regulation, in response to its acts of aggression towards Ukraine and its citizens. On the 24th of February 2022 the army of the Russian Federation engaged in a full-scale war against Ukraine and breached its territorial integrity, leading to casualties among both military staff and civilians. By proceeding to a so-called “military operation” aiming at “denazifying” and “demilitarizing” Ukraine under the pretext of its own national security, the Russian Federation breached numerous clauses of International Law. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is a clear act of aggression and a manifest violation of Article 2.4 of the UN Charter, which prohibits the “use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any State”. Also Russia is using it's weapon to target civilian infrastructure such as residential apartments, kindergartens, hospitals etc., which is prohibited by the Article 51(3) of Additional Protocol I and Article 13(3) of Additional Protocol II to the Geneva Conventions. These atrocious crimes have been made possible mainly due to the Russian propaganda machinery using websites continuously spreading disinformation, hate speech, promoting violence and hiding the truth regarding the war in Ukraine. Ukrainian IT infrastructure has undergone numerous attacks from the Russian side impeding citizens’ and government’s ability to communicate. Moreover, it’s becoming clear that this aggression could spread much further around the globe as the Russian Federation puts the nuclear deterrent on “special alert” and threatens both Sweden and Finland with “military and political consequences” if these states join NATO. Such developments are unacceptable in the civilized, peaceful world, in the XXI century. Therefore, I’m strongly asking you to introduce the following list of sanctions targeting Russian Federation’s access to the Internet: Revoke, permanently or temporarily, the domains “.ru”, “.рф” and “.su”. This list is not exhaustive and may also include other domains issued in the Russian Federation. Contribute to the revoking for SSL certificates for the abovementioned domains. Shut down DNS root servers situated in the Russian Federation, namely: Saint Petersburg, RU (IPv4 199.7.83.42) Moscow, RU (IPv4 199.7.83.42, 3 instances) Apart from these measures, I will be sending a separate request to RIPE NCC asking to withdraw the right to use all IPv4 and IPv6 addresses by all Russian members of RIPE NCC (LIRs - Local Internet Registries), and to block the DNS root servers that it is operating. All of these measures will help users seek for reliable information in alternative domain zones, preventing propaganda and disinformation. Leaders, governments and organizations all over the world are in favor of introducing sanctions towards the Russian Federation since they aim at putting the aggression towards Ukraine and other countries to an end. I ask you kindly to seriously consider such measures and implement them as quickly as possible. Help to save the lives of people in our country. Also, the above was signed by the Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine - Minister of Digital Transformation, the appendix is attached to this email. -------------- Sincerely, Andrii Nabok Representative of Ukraine in GAC ICANN RAW Paste Data From: "Набок, Андрій" nabok@thedigital.gov.ua <mailto:nabok@thedigital.gov.ua> Date: Monday, February 28, 2022 at 10:59 AM To: goran.marby@icann.org <mailto:goran.marby@icann.org> goran.marby@icann.org <mailto:goran.marby@icann.org> Cc: kim.davies@iana.org <mailto:kim.davies@iana.org> kim.davies@iana.org <mailto:kim.davies@iana.org> , webmaster webmaster@arin.net <mailto:webmaster@arin.net> , secretariat@nro.net <mailto:secretariat@nro.net> secretariat@nro.net <mailto:secretariat@nro.net> , chengetai.masango@un.org <mailto:chengetai.masango@un.org> chengetai.masango@un.org <mailto:chengetai.masango@un.org> , luna.madi@icann.org <mailto:luna.madi@icann.org> luna.madi@icann.org <mailto:luna.madi@icann.org> Subject: Ukraine urgently need ICANN's support Dear mr.

Oksana, we know and we are aware of the very difficult and dangerous situation. EU will support you. However, removing Russia from the Internet does not help supporting the civil society in this country for a democratic change.

President and Chief Executive Officer, As a representative of Ukraine in GAC ICANN, I’m sending you this letter on behalf of the people of Ukraine, asking you to address an urgent need to introduce strict sanctions against the Russian Federation in the field of DNS regulation, in response to its acts of aggression towards Ukraine and its citizens. On the 24th of February 2022 the army of the Russian Federation engaged in a full-scale war against Ukraine and breached its territorial integrity, leading to casualties among both military staff and civilians. By proceeding to a so-called “military operation” aiming at “denazifying” and “demilitarizing” Ukraine under the pretext of its own national security, the Russian Federation breached numerous clauses of International Law. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is a clear act of aggression and a manifest violation of Article 2.4 of the UN Charter, which prohibits the “use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any State”. Also Russia is using it's weapon to target civilian infrastructure such as residential apartments, kindergartens, hospitals etc., which is prohibited by the Article 51(3) of Additional Protocol I and Article 13(3) of Additional Protocol II to the Geneva Conventions. These atrocious crimes have been made possible mainly due to the Russian propaganda machinery using websites continuously spreading disinformation, hate speech, promoting violence and hiding the truth regarding the war in Ukraine. Ukrainian IT infrastructure has undergone numerous attacks from the Russian side impeding citizens’ and government’s ability to communicate. Moreover, it’s becoming clear that this aggression could spread much further around the globe as the Russian Federation puts the nuclear deterrent on “special alert” and threatens both Sweden and Finland with “military and political consequences” if these states join NATO. Such developments are unacceptable in the civilized, peaceful world, in the XXI century. Therefore, I’m strongly asking you to introduce the following list of sanctions targeting Russian Federation’s access to the Internet: Revoke, permanently or temporarily, the domains “.ru”, “.рф” and “.su”. This list is not exhaustive and may also include other domains issued in the Russian Federation. Contribute to the revoking for SSL certificates for the abovementioned domains. Shut down DNS root servers situated in the Russian Federation, namely: Saint Petersburg, RU (IPv4 199.7.83.42) Moscow, RU (IPv4 199.7.83.42, 3 instances) Apart from these measures, I will be sending a separate request to RIPE NCC asking to withdraw the right to use all IPv4 and IPv6 addresses by all Russian members of RIPE NCC (LIRs - Local Internet Registries), and to block the DNS root servers that it is operating. All of these measures will help users seek for reliable information in alternative domain zones, preventing propaganda and disinformation. Leaders, governments and organizations all over the world are in favor of introducing sanctions towards the Russian Federation since they aim at putting the aggression towards Ukraine and other countries to an end. I ask you kindly to seriously consider such measures and implement them as quickly as possible. Help to save the lives of people in our country.

Sanctions are necessary when the right audience is targeted which will lead to meaningful impact, not the people who have nothing to do with what's taking place. We don't want to convey the message that we're favoring a civil society over another in this arrogant and selfish leadership-made conflict.

we know and we are aware of the very difficult and dangerous situation. EU will support you. However, removing Russia from the Internet does not help supporting the civil society in this country for a democratic change.

On the 24th of February 2022 the army of the Russian Federation engaged in a full-scale war against Ukraine and breached its territorial integrity, leading to casualties among both military staff and civilians.
By proceeding to a so-called “military operation” aiming at “denazifying” and “demilitarizing” Ukraine under the pretext of its own national security, the Russian Federation breached numerous clauses of International Law. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is a clear act of aggression and a manifest violation of Article 2.4 of the UN Charter, which prohibits the “use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any State”. Also Russia is using it's weapon to target civilian infrastructure such as residential apartments, kindergartens, hospitals etc., which is prohibited by the Article 51(3) of Additional Protocol I and Article 13(3) of Additional Protocol II to the Geneva Conventions.
These atrocious crimes have been made possible mainly due to the Russian propaganda machinery using websites continuously spreading disinformation, hate speech, promoting violence and hiding the truth regarding the war in Ukraine. Ukrainian IT infrastructure has undergone numerous attacks from the Russian side impeding citizens’ and government’s ability to communicate.
Moreover, it’s becoming clear that this aggression could spread much further around the globe as the Russian Federation puts the nuclear deterrent on “special alert” and threatens both Sweden and Finland with “military and political consequences” if these states join NATO. Such developments are unacceptable in the civilized, peaceful world, in the XXI century.
Therefore, I’m strongly asking you to introduce the following list of sanctions targeting Russian Federation’s access to the Internet:
Revoke, permanently or temporarily, the domains “.ru”, “.рф” and “.su”. This list is not exhaustive and may also include other domains issued in the Russian Federation.
Contribute to the revoking for SSL certificates for the abovementioned domains.
Shut down DNS root servers situated in the Russian Federation, namely:
Saint Petersburg, RU (IPv4 199.7.83.42)
Moscow, RU (IPv4 199.7.83.42, 3 instances)
Apart from these measures, I will be sending a separate request to RIPE NCC asking to withdraw the right to use all IPv4 and IPv6 addresses by all Russian members of RIPE NCC (LIRs - Local Internet Registries), and to block the DNS root servers that it is operating.
All of these measures will help users seek for reliable information in alternative domain zones, preventing propaganda and disinformation. Leaders, governments and organizations all over the world are in favor of introducing sanctions towards the Russian Federation since they aim at putting the aggression towards Ukraine and other countries to an end. I ask you kindly to seriously consider such measures and implement them as quickly as possible. Help to save the lives of people in our country.
Also, the above was signed by the Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine - Minister of Digital Transformation, the appendix is attached to this email.

Dear all, Thank you so much for all your comments! Nuclear bombing of Ukraine - will it be enough to change your neutral position? Will try to record bomb allert in Kyiv just now and to send you.

Oksana,
we know and we are aware of the very difficult and dangerous situation. EU will support you. However, removing Russia from the Internet does not help supporting the civil society in this country for a democratic change. ICANN is a neutral platform, not taking a position in this conflict but allowing States to act accordingly, e.g. blocking all traffic from a particular state.

+1 Oksana! Neutrality as a response to murder is not neutral. What is the use of “civil society” organizations if they won’t even speak up in support protect civil society, much less do anything about it? Even politicians have woken up. Even the German government has woken up. Even the Swiss government has woken up! Meanwhile some people at ICANN are content to repeat empty phrases about not getting involved because it doesn’t help civil society in their country. So much for “one world, one internet.” Oksana, the nation and people of Ukraine have captured our hearts and some of us know that you are fighting for all of us. ICANN could have a role, but too many of the people here have been repeating their threadbare mantras for so long that they have forgotten what they mean.

President and Chief Executive Officer, As a representative of Ukraine in GAC ICANN, I’m sending you this letter on behalf of the people of Ukraine, asking you to address an urgent need to introduce strict sanctions against the Russian Federation in the field of DNS regulation, in response to its acts of aggression towards Ukraine and its citizens.
On the 24th of February 2022 the army of the Russian Federation engaged in a full-scale war against Ukraine and breached its territorial integrity, leading to casualties among both military staff and civilians.
By proceeding to a so-called “military operation” aiming at “denazifying” and “demilitarizing” Ukraine under the pretext of its own national security, the Russian Federation breached numerous clauses of International Law. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is a clear act of aggression and a manifest violation of Article 2.4 of the UN Charter, which prohibits the “use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any State”. Also Russia is using it's weapon to target civilian infrastructure such as residential apartments, kindergartens, hospitals etc., which is prohibited by the Article 51(3) of Additional Protocol I and Article 13(3) of Additional Protocol II to the Geneva Conventions. These atrocious crimes have been made possible mainly due to the Russian propaganda machinery using websites continuously spreading disinformation, hate speech, promoting violence and hiding the truth regarding the war in Ukraine. Ukrainian IT infrastructure has undergone numerous attacks from the Russian side impeding citizens’ and government’s ability to communicate. Moreover, it’s becoming clear that this aggression could spread much further around the globe as the Russian Federation puts the nuclear deterrent on “special alert” and threatens both Sweden and Finland with “military and political consequences” if these states join NATO. Such developments are unacceptable in the civilized, peaceful world, in the XXI century. Therefore, I’m strongly asking you to introduce the following list of sanctions targeting Russian Federation’s access to the Internet: Revoke, permanently or temporarily, the domains “.ru”, “.рф” and “.su”. This list is not exhaustive and may also include other domains issued in the Russian Federation.
Contribute to the revoking for SSL certificates for the abovementioned domains. Shut down DNS root servers situated in the Russian Federation, namely:
Saint Petersburg, RU (IPv4 199.7.83.42) Moscow, RU (IPv4 199.7.83.42, 3 instances)
Apart from these measures, I will be sending a separate request to RIPE NCC asking to withdraw the right to use all IPv4 and IPv6 addresses by all Russian members of RIPE NCC (LIRs - Local Internet Registries), and to block the DNS root servers that it is operating.
All of these measures will help users seek for reliable information in alternative domain zones, preventing propaganda and disinformation. Leaders, governments and organizations all over the world are in favor of introducing sanctions towards the Russian Federation since they aim at putting the aggression towards Ukraine and other countries to an end. I ask you kindly to seriously consider such measures and implement them as quickly as possible. Help to save the lives of people in our country.
Also, the above was signed by the Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine - Minister of Digital Transformation, the appendix is attached to this email. -------------- Sincerely, Andrii Nabok

Dear Antony, Thank you so much! I urgently needed these words! Will be happy to welcome you to Kyiv after our victory! Kind regards, Oksana On Tue, Mar 1, 2022 at 5:37 PM Antony Van Couvering <avc@avc.vc> wrote:

Neutrality as a response to murder is not neutral.
What is the use of “civil society” organizations if they won’t even speak up in support protect civil society, much less do anything about it?
Even politicians have woken up. Even the German government has woken up. Even the Swiss government has woken up! Meanwhile some people at ICANN are content to repeat empty phrases about not getting involved because it doesn’t help civil society in their country. So much for “one world, one internet.”
Oksana, the nation and people of Ukraine have captured our hearts and some of us know that you are fighting for all of us. ICANN could have a role, but too many of the people here have been repeating their threadbare mantras for so long that they have forgotten what they mean.

Oksana,
we know and we are aware of the very difficult and dangerous situation. EU will support you. However, removing Russia from the Internet does not help supporting the civil society in this country for a democratic change. ICANN is a neutral platform, not taking a position in this conflict but allowing States to act accordingly, e.g. blocking all traffic from a particular state.

Dear all,
I am representative of civil society of Ukraine. I am bombed for 6th day in Kyiv. I have problems with Internet.
Please, do not to believe that Chernobyl in putler`s hands will ensure safe living in Western Europe.
Come here to Kyiv to see putler`s action.
Just now - bomb alert.
Слава Україні! Героям слава! Смерть ворогам!

a first comment: I would plead for neutrality of information and communication infrastructure also in case of an armed conflict. Responsible persons and their armies should be punished, not the civil society. Blocking tools may be used based on domain names and IP addresses, decided by MS and compliant with international law.

Thank you but I fear the time for words is over. Unfortunately I am not a member of the list (only a reader) so my message has been blocked to the full list. Nonetheless I am glad you received my message and I will do what I can from here. PS invitation accepted!

Neutrality as a response to murder is not neutral.
What is the use of “civil society” organizations if they won’t even speak up in support protect civil society, much less do anything about it?
Even politicians have woken up. Even the German government has woken up. Even the Swiss government has woken up! Meanwhile some people at ICANN are content to repeat empty phrases about not getting involved because it doesn’t help civil society in their country. So much for “one world, one internet.”
Oksana, the nation and people of Ukraine have captured our hearts and some of us know that you are fighting for all of us. ICANN could have a role, but too many of the people here have been repeating their threadbare mantras for so long that they have forgotten what they mean.

we know and we are aware of the very difficult and dangerous situation. EU will support you. However, removing Russia from the Internet does not help supporting the civil society in this country for a democratic change. ICANN is a neutral platform, not taking a position in this conflict but allowing States to act accordingly, e.g. blocking all traffic from a particular state.

President and Chief Executive Officer, As a representative of Ukraine in GAC ICANN, I’m sending you this letter on behalf of the people of Ukraine, asking you to address an urgent need to introduce strict sanctions against the Russian Federation in the field of DNS regulation, in response to its acts of aggression towards Ukraine and its citizens.
On the 24th of February 2022 the army of the Russian Federation engaged in a full-scale war against Ukraine and breached its territorial integrity, leading to casualties among both military staff and civilians.
By proceeding to a so-called “military operation” aiming at “denazifying” and “demilitarizing” Ukraine under the pretext of its own national security, the Russian Federation breached numerous clauses of International Law. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is a clear act of aggression and a manifest violation of Article 2.4 of the UN Charter, which prohibits the “use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any State”. Also Russia is using it's weapon to target civilian infrastructure such as residential apartments, kindergartens, hospitals etc., which is prohibited by the Article 51(3) of Additional Protocol I and Article 13(3) of Additional Protocol II to the Geneva Conventions. These atrocious crimes have been made possible mainly due to the Russian propaganda machinery using websites continuously spreading disinformation, hate speech, promoting violence and hiding the truth regarding the war in Ukraine. Ukrainian IT infrastructure has undergone numerous attacks from the Russian side impeding citizens’ and government’s ability to communicate. Moreover, it’s becoming clear that this aggression could spread much further around the globe as the Russian Federation puts the nuclear deterrent on “special alert” and threatens both Sweden and Finland with “military and political consequences” if these states join NATO. Such developments are unacceptable in the civilized, peaceful world, in the XXI century. Therefore, I’m strongly asking you to introduce the following list of sanctions targeting Russian Federation’s access to the Internet: Revoke, permanently or temporarily, the domains “.ru”, “.рф” and “.su”. This list is not exhaustive and may also include other domains issued in the Russian Federation.
Contribute to the revoking for SSL certificates for the abovementioned domains. Shut down DNS root servers situated in the Russian Federation, namely:
Saint Petersburg, RU (IPv4 199.7.83.42) Moscow, RU (IPv4 199.7.83.42, 3 instances)
Apart from these measures, I will be sending a separate request to RIPE NCC asking to withdraw the right to use all IPv4 and IPv6 addresses by all Russian members of RIPE NCC (LIRs - Local Internet Registries), and to block the DNS root servers that it is operating.
All of these measures will help users seek for reliable information in alternative domain zones, preventing propaganda and disinformation. Leaders, governments and organizations all over the world are in favor of introducing sanctions towards the Russian Federation since they aim at putting the aggression towards Ukraine and other countries to an end. I ask you kindly to seriously consider such measures and implement them as quickly as possible. Help to save the lives of people in our country.
Also, the above was signed by the Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine - Minister of Digital Transformation, the appendix is attached to this email. -------------- Sincerely, Andrii Nabok

By proceeding to a so-called “military operation” aiming at “denazifying” and “demilitarizing” Ukraine under the pretext of its own national security, the Russian Federation breached numerous clauses of International Law. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is a clear act of aggression and a manifest violation of Article 2.4 of the UN Charter, which prohibits the “use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any State”. Also Russia is using it's weapon to target civilian infrastructure such as residential apartments, kindergartens, hospitals etc., which is prohibited by the Article 51(3) of Additional Protocol I and Article 13(3) of Additional Protocol II to the Geneva Conventions. These atrocious crimes have been made possible mainly due to the Russian propaganda machinery using websites continuously spreading disinformation, hate speech, promoting violence and hiding the truth regarding the war in Ukraine. Ukrainian IT infrastructure has undergone numerous attacks from the Russian side impeding citizens’ and government’s ability to communicate. Moreover, it’s becoming clear that this aggression could spread much further around the globe as the Russian Federation puts the nuclear deterrent on “special alert” and threatens both Sweden and Finland with “military and political consequences” if these states join NATO. Such developments are unacceptable in the civilized, peaceful world, in the XXI century. Therefore, I’m strongly asking you to introduce the following list of sanctions targeting Russian Federation’s access to the Internet: Revoke, permanently or temporarily, the domains “.ru”, “.рф” and “.su”. This list is not exhaustive and may also include other domains issued in the Russian Federation.
Contribute to the revoking for SSL certificates for the abovementioned domains. Shut down DNS root servers situated in the Russian Federation, namely:
Saint Petersburg, RU (IPv4 199.7.83.42) Moscow, RU (IPv4 199.7.83.42, 3 instances)
Apart from these measures, I will be sending a separate request to RIPE NCC asking to withdraw the right to use all IPv4 and IPv6 addresses by all Russian members of RIPE NCC (LIRs - Local Internet Registries), and to block the DNS root servers that it is operating.
All of these measures will help users seek for reliable information in alternative domain zones, preventing propaganda and disinformation. Leaders, governments and organizations all over the world are in favor of introducing sanctions towards the Russian Federation since they aim at putting the aggression towards Ukraine and other countries to an end. I ask you kindly to seriously consider such measures and implement them as quickly as possible. Help to save the lives of people in our country.
Also, the above was signed by the Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine - Minister of Digital Transformation, the appendix is attached to this email. -------------- Sincerely, Andrii Nabok

Neutrality as a response to murder is not neutral.
What is the use of “civil society” organizations if they won’t even speak up in support protect civil society, much less do anything about it?
Even politicians have woken up. Even the German government has woken up. Even the Swiss government has woken up! Meanwhile some people at ICANN are content to repeat empty phrases about not getting involved because it doesn’t help civil society in their country. So much for “one world, one internet.”
Oksana, the nation and people of Ukraine have captured our hearts and some of us know that you are fighting for all of us. ICANN could have a role, but too many of the people here have been repeating their threadbare mantras for so long that they have forgotten what they mean.

we know and we are aware of the very difficult and dangerous situation. EU will support you. However, removing Russia from the Internet does not help supporting the civil society in this country for a democratic change. ICANN is a neutral platform, not taking a position in this conflict but allowing States to act accordingly, e.g. blocking all traffic from a particular state.

Dear all,
I am representative of civil society of Ukraine. I am bombed for 6th day in Kyiv. I have problems with Internet.
Please, do not to believe that Chernobyl in putler`s hands will ensure safe living in Western Europe.
Come here to Kyiv to see putler`s action.
Just now - bomb alert.

a first comment: I would plead for neutrality of information and communication infrastructure also in case of an armed conflict. Responsible persons and their armies should be punished, not the civil society. Blocking tools may be used based on domain names and IP addresses, decided by MS and compliant with international law.

Neutrality as a response to murder is not neutral. What is the use of “civil society” organizations if they won’t even speak up in support protect civil society, much less do anything about it? Even politicians have woken up. Even the German government has woken up. Even the Swiss government has woken up! Meanwhile some people at ICANN are content to repeat empty phrases about not getting involved because it doesn’t help civil society in their country. So much for “one world, one internet.” Oksana, the nation and people of Ukraine have captured our hearts and some of us know that you are fighting for all of us. ICANN could have a role, but too many of the people here have been repeating their threadbare mantras for so long that they have forgotten what they mean.

President and Chief Executive Officer, As a representative of Ukraine in GAC ICANN, I’m sending you this letter on behalf of the people of Ukraine, asking you to address an urgent need to introduce strict sanctions against the Russian Federation in the field of DNS regulation, in response to its acts of aggression towards Ukraine and its citizens. On the 24th of February 2022 the army of the Russian Federation engaged in a full-scale war against Ukraine and breached its territorial integrity, leading to casualties among both military staff and civilians. By proceeding to a so-called “military operation” aiming at “denazifying” and “demilitarizing” Ukraine under the pretext of its own national security, the Russian Federation breached numerous clauses of International Law. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is a clear act of aggression and a manifest violation of Article 2.4 of the UN Charter, which prohibits the “use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any State”. Also Russia is using it's weapon to target civilian infrastructure such as residential apartments, kindergartens, hospitals etc., which is prohibited by the Article 51(3) of Additional Protocol I and Article 13(3) of Additional Protocol II to the Geneva Conventions. These atrocious crimes have been made possible mainly due to the Russian propaganda machinery using websites continuously spreading disinformation, hate speech, promoting violence and hiding the truth regarding the war in Ukraine. Ukrainian IT infrastructure has undergone numerous attacks from the Russian side impeding citizens’ and government’s ability to communicate. Moreover, it’s becoming clear that this aggression could spread much further around the globe as the Russian Federation puts the nuclear deterrent on “special alert” and threatens both Sweden and Finland with “military and political consequences” if these states join NATO. Such developments are unacceptable in the civilized, peaceful world, in the XXI century. Therefore, I’m strongly asking you to introduce the following list of sanctions targeting Russian Federation’s access to the Internet: Revoke, permanently or temporarily, the domains “.ru”, “.рф” and “.su”. This list is not exhaustive and may also include other domains issued in the Russian Federation. Contribute to the revoking for SSL certificates for the abovementioned domains. Shut down DNS root servers situated in the Russian Federation, namely: Saint Petersburg, RU (IPv4 199.7.83.42) Moscow, RU (IPv4 199.7.83.42, 3 instances) Apart from these measures, I will be sending a separate request to RIPE NCC asking to withdraw the right to use all IPv4 and IPv6 addresses by all Russian members of RIPE NCC (LIRs - Local Internet Registries), and to block the DNS root servers that it is operating. All of these measures will help users seek for reliable information in alternative domain zones, preventing propaganda and disinformation. Leaders, governments and organizations all over the world are in favor of introducing sanctions towards the Russian Federation since they aim at putting the aggression towards Ukraine and other countries to an end. I ask you kindly to seriously consider such measures and implement them as quickly as possible. Help to save the lives of people in our country. Also, the above was signed by the Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine - Minister of Digital Transformation, the appendix is attached to this email. -------------- Sincerely, Andrii Nabok Representative of Ukraine in GAC ICANN RAW Paste Data From: "Набок, Андрій" nabok@thedigital.gov.ua<mailto:nabok@thedigital.gov.ua><mailto:nabok@thedigital.gov.ua<mailto:nabok@thedigital.gov.ua>><mailto:nabok@thedigital.gov.ua<mailto:nabok@thedigital.gov.ua><mailto:nabok@thedigital.gov.ua<mailto:nabok@thedigital.gov.ua>>> Date: Monday, February 28, 2022 at 10:59 AM To: goran.marby@icann.org<mailto:goran.marby@icann.org><mailto:goran.marby@icann.org<mailto:goran.marby@icann.org>><mailto:goran.marby@icann.org<mailto:goran.marby@icann.org><mailto:goran.marby@icann.org<mailto:goran.marby@icann.org>>> goran.marby@icann.org<mailto:goran.marby@icann.org><mailto:goran.marby@icann.org<mailto:goran.marby@icann.org>><mailto:goran.marby@icann.org<mailto:goran.marby@icann.org><mailto:goran.marby@icann.org<mailto:goran.marby@icann.org>>> Cc: kim.davies@iana.org<mailto:kim.davies@iana.org><mailto:kim.davies@iana.org<mailto:kim.davies@iana.org>><mailto:kim.davies@iana.org<mailto:kim.davies@iana.org><mailto:kim.davies@iana.org<mailto:kim.davies@iana.org>>> kim.davies@iana.org<mailto:kim.davies@iana.org><mailto:kim.davies@iana.org<mailto:kim.davies@iana.org>><mailto:kim.davies@iana.org<mailto:kim.davies@iana.org><mailto:kim.davies@iana.org<mailto:kim.davies@iana.org>>>, webmaster webmaster@arin.net<mailto:webmaster@arin.net><mailto:webmaster@arin.net<mailto:webmaster@arin.net>><mailto:webmaster@arin.net<mailto:webmaster@arin.net><mailto:webmaster@arin.net<mailto:webmaster@arin.net>>>, secretariat@nro.net<mailto:secretariat@nro.net><mailto:secretariat@nro.net<mailto:secretariat@nro.net>><mailto:secretariat@nro.net<mailto:secretariat@nro.net><mailto:secretariat@nro.net<mailto:secretariat@nro.net>>> secretariat@nro.net<mailto:secretariat@nro.net><mailto:secretariat@nro.net<mailto:secretariat@nro.net>><mailto:secretariat@nro.net<mailto:secretariat@nro.net><mailto:secretariat@nro.net<mailto:secretariat@nro.net>>>, chengetai.masango@un.org<mailto:chengetai.masango@un.org><mailto:chengetai.masango@un.org<mailto:chengetai.masango@un.org>><mailto:chengetai.masango@un.org<mailto:chengetai.masango@un.org><mailto:chengetai.masango@un.org<mailto:chengetai.masango@un.org>>> chengetai.masango@un.org<mailto:chengetai.masango@un.org><mailto:chengetai.masango@un.org<mailto:chengetai.masango@un.org>><mailto:chengetai.masango@un.org<mailto:chengetai.masango@un.org><mailto:chengetai.masango@un.org<mailto:chengetai.masango@un.org>>>, luna.madi@icann.org<mailto:luna.madi@icann.org><mailto:luna.madi@icann.org<mailto:luna.madi@icann.org>><mailto:luna.madi@icann.org<mailto:luna.madi@icann.org><mailto:luna.madi@icann.org<mailto:luna.madi@icann.org>>> luna.madi@icann.org<mailto:luna.madi@icann.org><mailto:luna.madi@icann.org<mailto:luna.madi@icann.org>><mailto:luna.madi@icann.org<mailto:luna.madi@icann.org><mailto:luna.madi@icann.org<mailto:luna.madi@icann.org>>> Subject: Ukraine urgently need ICANN's support Dear mr.

+1 Oksana!
Neutrality as a response to murder is not neutral.
What is the use of “civil society” organizations if they won’t even speak up in support protect civil society, much less do anything about it?
Even politicians have woken up. Even the German government has woken up. Even the Swiss government has woken up! Meanwhile some people at ICANN are content to repeat empty phrases about not getting involved because it doesn’t help civil society in their country. So much for “one world, one internet.”
Oksana, the nation and people of Ukraine have captured our hearts and some of us know that you are fighting for all of us. ICANN could have a role, but too many of the people here have been repeating their threadbare mantras for so long that they have forgotten what they mean.

we know and we are aware of the very difficult and dangerous situation. EU will support you. However, removing Russia from the Internet does not help supporting the civil society in this country for a democratic change. ICANN is a neutral platform, not taking a position in this conflict but allowing States to act accordingly, e.g. blocking all traffic from a particular state.

Dear all,
I am representative of civil society of Ukraine. I am bombed for 6th day in Kyiv. I have problems with Internet.
Please, do not to believe that Chernobyl in putler`s hands will ensure safe living in Western Europe.
Come here to Kyiv to see putler`s action.
Just now - bomb alert.
Слава Україні! Героям слава! Смерть ворогам!

Subject: Ukraine urgently need ICANN's support Dear mr. President and Chief Executive Officer, As a representative of Ukraine in GAC ICANN, I’m sending you this letter on behalf of the people of Ukraine, asking you to address an urgent need to introduce strict sanctions against the Russian Federation in the field of DNS regulation, in response to its acts of aggression towards Ukraine and its citizens.
On the 24th of February 2022 the army of the Russian Federation engaged in a full-scale war against Ukraine and breached its territorial integrity, leading to casualties among both military staff and civilians.
By proceeding to a so-called “military operation” aiming at “denazifying” and “demilitarizing” Ukraine under the pretext of its own national security, the Russian Federation breached numerous clauses of International Law. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is a clear act of aggression and a manifest violation of Article 2.4 of the UN Charter, which prohibits the “use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any State”. Also Russia is using it's weapon to target civilian infrastructure such as residential apartments, kindergartens, hospitals etc., which is prohibited by the Article 51(3) of Additional Protocol I and Article 13(3) of Additional Protocol II to the Geneva Conventions. These atrocious crimes have been made possible mainly due to the Russian propaganda machinery using websites continuously spreading disinformation, hate speech, promoting violence and hiding the truth regarding the war in Ukraine. Ukrainian IT infrastructure has undergone numerous attacks from the Russian side impeding citizens’ and government’s ability to communicate. Moreover, it’s becoming clear that this aggression could spread much further around the globe as the Russian Federation puts the nuclear deterrent on “special alert” and threatens both Sweden and Finland with “military and political consequences” if these states join NATO. Such developments are unacceptable in the civilized, peaceful world, in the XXI century. Therefore, I’m strongly asking you to introduce the following list of sanctions targeting Russian Federation’s access to the Internet: Revoke, permanently or temporarily, the domains “.ru”, “.рф” and “.su”. This list is not exhaustive and may also include other domains issued in the Russian Federation.
Contribute to the revoking for SSL certificates for the abovementioned domains. Shut down DNS root servers situated in the Russian Federation, namely:
Saint Petersburg, RU (IPv4 199.7.83.42) Moscow, RU (IPv4 199.7.83.42, 3 instances)
Apart from these measures, I will be sending a separate request to RIPE NCC asking to withdraw the right to use all IPv4 and IPv6 addresses by all Russian members of RIPE NCC (LIRs - Local Internet Registries), and to block the DNS root servers that it is operating.
All of these measures will help users seek for reliable information in alternative domain zones, preventing propaganda and disinformation. Leaders, governments and organizations all over the world are in favor of introducing sanctions towards the Russian Federation since they aim at putting the aggression towards Ukraine and other countries to an end. I ask you kindly to seriously consider such measures and implement them as quickly as possible. Help to save the lives of people in our country.
Also, the above was signed by the Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine - Minister of Digital Transformation, the appendix is attached to this email. -------------- Sincerely, Andrii Nabok

Please, be REAL, read Clausewitz und do not destroy important services for civil society like the Internet.
Pleas for unicorns and fairies are already too late. Most of civil society inside Russia is already blocked from conventional access to outside news of the war, replaced by a state Intranet now used to feed state propaganda. Economic activity? If SWIFT is blocked I wouldn't be expecting PayPal to flow freely. Alipay? Maybe still, but not if using Visa or Mastercard or wire transfers. Meanwhile, this now-unidirectional flow of Internet is enabling large-scale malware distribution and identity theft for the purpose of further spreading said propaganda. And Russian root servers can ultimately be manipulated for political end. So, Mister Let's Stay Above It All -- *exactly* what "important services for civil society" are you arguing to protect here that are not already compromised? Keeping it theoretical while civilians are being targeted and the global nuclear threat escalates will not support your cause. Humanitarian law is about some civility in armed conflict. Violators must
be punished, and the ICC will do it. Law is slow, international law in particular. BUT ... in the end, it will will. Erich
So you're saying that a post-invasion Russia would revert Ukraine back to its pre-war pro-Western state ... because the ICC asks nicely? The very act of war indicates a less-than-strict adherence to humanitarian law and norms. What incentive exists to repent? - Evan
I think we're well past the point of pretending that ICANN's actions (or non-actions) are apolitical. The issue to me is not so much ICANN's jurisdiction to act so much as its impotence. It couldn't even shut down the rogue .su TLD during peacetime.

By proceeding to a so-called “military operation” aiming at “denazifying” and “demilitarizing” Ukraine under the pretext of its own national security, the Russian Federation breached numerous clauses of International Law. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is a clear act of aggression and a manifest violation of Article 2.4 of the UN Charter, which prohibits the “use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any State”. Also Russia is using it's weapon to target civilian infrastructure such as residential apartments, kindergartens, hospitals etc., which is prohibited by the Article 51(3) of Additional Protocol I and Article 13(3) of Additional Protocol II to the Geneva Conventions. These atrocious crimes have been made possible mainly due to the Russian propaganda machinery using websites continuously spreading disinformation, hate speech, promoting violence and hiding the truth regarding the war in Ukraine. Ukrainian IT infrastructure has undergone numerous attacks from the Russian side impeding citizens’ and government’s ability to communicate. Moreover, it’s becoming clear that this aggression could spread much further around the globe as the Russian Federation puts the nuclear deterrent on “special alert” and threatens both Sweden and Finland with “military and political consequences” if these states join NATO. Such developments are unacceptable in the civilized, peaceful world, in the XXI century. Therefore, I’m strongly asking you to introduce the following list of sanctions targeting Russian Federation’s access to the Internet: Revoke, permanently or temporarily, the domains “.ru”, “.рф” and “.su”. This list is not exhaustive and may also include other domains issued in the Russian Federation.
Contribute to the revoking for SSL certificates for the abovementioned domains. Shut down DNS root servers situated in the Russian Federation, namely:
Saint Petersburg, RU (IPv4 199.7.83.42) Moscow, RU (IPv4 199.7.83.42, 3 instances)
Apart from these measures, I will be sending a separate request to RIPE NCC asking to withdraw the right to use all IPv4 and IPv6 addresses by all Russian members of RIPE NCC (LIRs - Local Internet Registries), and to block the DNS root servers that it is operating.
All of these measures will help users seek for reliable information in alternative domain zones, preventing propaganda and disinformation. Leaders, governments and organizations all over the world are in favor of introducing sanctions towards the Russian Federation since they aim at putting the aggression towards Ukraine and other countries to an end. I ask you kindly to seriously consider such measures and implement them as quickly as possible. Help to save the lives of people in our country.
Also, the above was signed by the Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine - Minister of Digital Transformation, the appendix is attached to this email. -------------- Sincerely, Andrii Nabok
Representative of Ukraine in GAC ICANN

One problem is that although ICANN may have the means (basically, the passwords, literally or metaphorically) to remove a ccTLD it's not clear they have the authority. I would think at the very least the UN, the maintainers of ISO3166, would have to request this. Similar for the other requests and other authorities. I'm not sure that the ICANN GAC representative from Ukraine has the authority to request this except inasmuch as I suppose anyone can request removal of a ccTLD, IP allocations, etc. But as an official representative of their country. How would we know if someone higher up in Ukrainian authority, Zelensky for example, would think this a terrible idea? Perhaps for reasons you won't think of off the top of your heads. For example it would also potentially silence any voice of resistance from within Russia. Marby et al no doubt are well aware of all this and pursuing such questions, but for discussion's sake. Finally this is that mind's eye view of the internet. As if there's a big red SHUT THEM OFF button and one merely has to urge someone within reach of that button to just push it. It's endemic to many such emotional appeals. It's more like shutting off someone's cell phone and imagining they no longer will be able to make any phone calls. OTOH I do get the potential symbolic value, even if it's not operationally perfect. -- -Barry Shein Software Tool & Die | bzs@TheWorld.com | http://www.TheWorld.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: +1 617-STD-WRLD | 800-THE-WRLD The World: Since 1989 | A Public Information Utility | *oo*

Dear all, Yesterday I had problems with Internet connection here, in Kyiv, under russian bombs. We, Ukrainians, received support from Elon Musk, who provided StarLinks for our shelters. Ukrainian digital infrastructure did not receive any real support from ICANN or RIPE NCC (thousands of thanks to CENTR!). You (out of the Ukrainian world) can't understand that we do not ask for your help - it is our attempt to save the free Internet at all! Russians are not concerned about being isolated from the Internet (but they are really concerned about losing access to Pornhub). By the way, Chernobyl now is in putler hands - and nobody knows what to do with it. Just now Ukraine proposes a very simple step - to organize the Ukrainian channel of translation for ICANN and RIPE NCC meetings. Even for those Ukrainians, who speak English, it is not so easy to ensure the right wording of all our messages. Слава Україні! Героям слава! Смерть ворогам!
