NCSG Q5 Proposed Language
INTERNAL Dear all, Ahead of today's meeting, the NCSG has prepared draft language for charter question 5. We look forward to further discussion, and are more than happy to answer any questions. Best, NCSG/NCUC -- Where enforcement actions affect multiple domains based on an association determination, appropriate safeguards must be available to protect registrants from unintended harm. Registrants and end-users have the right to mechanisms for remedy related to DNS abuse mitigation action(s). Registrars must ensure that mitigation measures are proportionate, transparent, and supported by well-evidenced DNS Abuse. Affected registrants should be provided an appeal process. This includes, but is not limited to: * providing avenues for impacted registrants to seek clarification or review through dispute or support channels; * clear procedures for the registrant to appeal the mitigation action(s) * where relevant, for the reversal of any mitigation action(s), where applicable Michaela Nakayama Shapiro (she/her/hers) Programme Officer - Censorship [cid:logo_1c766458-35ee-431a-9a22-e00b47cd2091.png]<https://www.article19.org> Defending freedom of expression and information www.article19.org<https://www.article19.org> Subscribe to our Newsletter<https://www.article19.org/ie-sign-up/> [cid:newsletter_02744340-c607-4374-8a37-11b8b216096d.png] <https://www.article19.org/ie-sign-up> Note: we work half day Fridays (AM) Follow us [cid:bluesky1x_864ef831-9476-4116-88b8-2a3410741630.png]<https://bsky.app/profile/article19.bsky.social> [cid:facebook_2853baa0-f060-42e6-b448-6a8788c1b5dd.png] <https://www.facebook.com/article19org/> [cid:youtube_ffe95af1-d962-4acd-ab59-4eb4ea07466e.png] <https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDB6E_x0xRSfF62b872n9YQ> [cid:linkedin_199dc89c-14aa-41cd-b2a7-37b8ae8d667d.png] <https://www.linkedin.com/company/article19> [cid:instagram_05fbcc72-6df2-442b-8c34-146d0e9d8c41.png] <https://www.instagram.com/article19org/> [cid:x_d21e0607-da5a-44a7-80c7-e2d86bc18a92.png] <https://twitter.com/intent/follow?screen_name=article19org> [cid:targetedemailsigbannerapr16_e39b35dc-4060-4323-bdf4-a128a2e1d0a3.png]<https://www.article19.org/resources/targeted/?pk_campaign=email_signatures&p...>
Michaela, When you say “enforcement” below do you mean mitigation? If so, my understanding is that this PDP only covers the associated domain check. Any mitigation obligations would already be addressed in the RAA and would be out of scope here. Best regards, Marc H.

Marc, While I agree that mitigation in itself is out of scope I also think that it is very important to protect the "innocent", as it were, as is the matter of natural justice, ie giving the other side a chance to be heard. I assume it it self evident that false positives would be restored as a matter of urgency. el On 2026/05/11 14:24, trachtenbergm--- via Gnso-dnsabuse-pdp wrote:

Marc, that was emailed in reply, and before the discussion, which has made it much clearer. It has made it also clear to me that we need to report the lack of remedy/recourse after (RAA mitigation) to Council. el On 2026-05-11 15:59, trachtenbergm@gtlaw.com wrote:

The Council is aware of the issue of lack of dispute/recourse mechanism for registrants. This issue is identified in the Issue Report (i.e., topic C3). This wg can, of course, raise the point as the Council and community consider next topics for policy work.
