[Ncsg-discuss] GoDaddy to offer domain blocking to people who don=?UTF-8?Q?=E2=80=99t_?=have trademarks

[Pedro de Perdigão Lana]

Hi Kathy and NCSG community,

Wishing a great 2026 for everyone.

Do you (or anyone else in NCSG) know if the service would be restricted to
GoDaddy services, or, considering there is a dialogue with ICANN, it would
be a cross-registrar initiative?

Cordially,
