Dear All,
We warmly invite you to join the DASC session at ICANN83, where we will examine the relationship among online scams, financial crime, and domain name abuse—and highlight how ccTLDs are
responding.
DASC: Online Scams and Financial Crime
Wednesday, 11 June 2025, (13:45-15:00 local, UTC +2)
ICANN83 Policy Forum, Prague, Czech Republic
Held as part of the
ccNSO Members Meeting, this session, chaired by Nick
Wenban-Smith (.uk), will feature insights from:
·
Gabriel Andrews, FBI | Chair GAC Public Safety WG
·
Keith Drazek, Verisign | Internet Infrastructure Forum
·
Mon Perez, .sg
·
Bruce Tonkin, .au
This discussion will also help lay the groundwork for continued collaboration at ICANN84, bringing together ccTLDs, law enforcement, and industry experts to address domain-related abuse
and financial threats. Mentimeter polling will be used during the session for real-time feedback and audience input. We encourage you to bring a mobile device or laptop to participate.
Furthermore, we take this opportunity to remind you to explore the
DASC DNS Abuse Resources:
·
DNS Abuse Library
A searchable, community-driven collection of tools, reports, and articles related to DNS abuse. You’re encouraged to browse the library and submit helpful resources.
·
DNS Abuse Discussion List
Open to all ccTLD-affiliated individuals, this email list provides regular updates on:
o
New library content
o
Upcoming events
o
Relevant discussions across the ccTLD community
Join us in person or online — we look forward to a dynamic and engaging session at ICANN83.
Best regards,
