new gTLDs supported by the Applicant Support Program (ASP) could transition toward operating their own back-end registry services. Building on GAC advice from ICANN79 and ICANN80 and subsequent exchanges with the ICANN Board, the session would provide a structured opportunity for cross-community dialogue involving the GAC, GNSO, ALAC, ICANN org, and other relevant stakeholders. The discussion would aim to clarify the scope and objectives of the proposed platform concept; examine operational, financial, and governance considerations; explore interactions with existing Registry Service Providers (RSPs) and the RSP framework; and consider ICANN’s potential role, consistent with its mission and remit. The session would be exploratory in nature, focused on developing a shared understanding of feasibility, policy implications, and potential next steps.</li><li><strong style="font-weight:bold">Potential Speakers</strong>: GAC representative, GNSO Council representative, ALAC representative, ICANN org representative (RSP framework), ICANN org representative (ASP implementation), Neutral facilitator</li><li><strong style="font-weight:bold">Format</strong>: Facilitated plenary dialogue with short framing interventions (5–7 minutes each), followed by moderated cross-community discussion and community engagement.</li><li><strong style="font-weight:bold">Additional Comments/Suggestions</strong>: Advance circulation of concise background materials (relevant GAC advice, Board correspondence, and overview of the RSP framework and ASP scope) would support a focused discussion.

While still in early stages, AI is poised to significantly increase the speed, scale, and sophistication of abuse campaigns, fundamentally changing the threat landscape facing the DNS ecosystem. AI is not only increasing the velocity and volume of attacks but also lowering the barrier to entry. AI-assisted tools now enable individuals with limited technical expertise to design and launch complex abuse campaigns that previously required specialized knowledge. As a result, the risk is no longer limited to well-resourced threat actors; smaller and less sophisticated actors can now generate highly effective phishing, domain generation, impersonation, and infrastructure abuse at scale. This shift represents a structural change in DNS abuse dynamics. AI is improving the quality and effectiveness of attacks, enabling rapid content generation, automated infrastructure creation, and adaptive targeting that can outpace traditional detection and mitigation approaches. The plenary will bring together technical experts, security practitioners, and policy stakeholders to examine:<ul style="margin:16px 0px;padding:0px 0px 0px 40px;list-style:outside none disc"><li style="list-style:none"><ul style="margin:16px 0px;padding:0px 0px 0px 40px;list-style:outside none disc"><li style="list-style:circle">how AI is currently being used in DNS abuse campaigns</li><li style="list-style:circle">how the threat is expected to evolve over the next 3–5 years</li><li style="list-style:circle">what this means for registries, registrars, and the broader DNS ecosystem</li><li style="list-style:circle">where ICANN can play a constructive role in coordination, awareness, and mitigation</li></ul></li><li style="list-style:circle">We will focus on three key areas: the democratization of attack tools, the move toward machine-speed abuse, and the potential for ICANN-led coordination in developing AI-resilient defenses.
