I propose the following for consideration in future Topic Dive discussions: 1. DNS Abuse Mitigation: Consumer Protections and Registry/Registrar Accountability Rationale: DNS abuse (e.g., phishing, malware, botnets) remains a critical threat to consumer trust in the domain ecosystem. With ICANN’s recent focus on contractual compliance and the proposed amendments to Registry/Registrar Agreements, this dive could explore: * Effectiveness of current abuse mitigation frameworks. * Gaps in consumer redress mechanisms. * Balancing accountability with operational feasibility for registries/registrars. * Potential policy updates to strengthen consumer safeguards. Relevance: Directly aligns with CPWG’s mission to advocate for end-user protections and inform At-Large input on ICANN’s contractual reforms. ________________________________ 2. Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs): Consumer Awareness and Challenges Rationale: Following the Latin Script Diacritics PDP, this topic could address broader IDN-related issues, such as: * Risks of homograph attacks and consumer confusion. * Accessibility barriers for non-Latin script users. * Policy gaps in IDN implementation (e.g., variant management, universal acceptance). Relevance: Supports CPWG’s ongoing work on inclusive DNS policies and ensures consumer perspectives shape IDN governance. ________________________________ 3. Privacy/Proxy Services (EPPS): Balancing Anonymity and Accountability Rationale: With the Expedited Policy Development Process (EPPS) on privacy/proxy services ongoing, a dive could clarify: * Consumer needs for anonymity vs. law enforcement/rights-holder concerns. * Implications of proposed accreditation models for end-users. * Risks of over/under-regulation to global accessibility. ________________________________ I am happy to collaborate on framing these topics or identifying speakers. The April WHOIS topic is timely, and I support its inclusion as well. Thank you for considering these suggestions.
