NCSG Policy Priority Topics for the upcoming year

[Pedro de Perdigão Lana]

Hi everyone,

My two cents besides what has already been said here.

There’s a possibility that the UDRP review will also start in 2025, and, if
that happens, it would be a fairly important issue to follow.

There also seems to be some extra momentum building around the DNS abuse
agenda. Making sure that the discussion is kept within ICANN remit may be a
challenge in 2025.

Cordially,
