DNS Abuse Mitigation and NARALO activities
by Glenn McKnight April 27, 2026

April 27, 2026

Hi Greg and Rookayya I attended and watched the recordings of the DNS Abuse Mitigation sessions in Mumbai ( remotely ) and I need to confess that the group dance around the concrete issues which impacts the user community. As a result I spent some time tailoring a AI Gemini slideshow given the parameters of making sense of the topic and I've added the result of slideshow as a EBOOK https://online.fliphtml5.com/gnel/DNS_Abuse_Playbook/ We are suffering by a lack of clarity and plain speaking on this topic. I hope this slideshow can help our membership in trying to undersatnd the basics.
