Hi Rafik,

I’m happy to put my name forward as a suggested candidate. Happy to hear other suggestions though of course.

It would also be great to know who they are thinking of for the other panellists.

Best,

Michaela

Subject: [NCSG-PC] Fwd: ACTION Rafik - Invitation | ICANN85 At-Large Plenary on DNS Abuse Mitigation

hi all,

I got this invite from ALAC about their session on DNS abuse. I responded that I would prefer someone active on the topic to be the panelist.
The session is clashing with our scheduled PC session on that day.
Any suggestions for the panelist name?

Best,

Rafik

---------- Forwarded message ---------

Dear Rafik,

On behalf of the ALAC Leadership, we would like to invite you to participate as the NCSG panelist in the ICANN85 At-Large plenary session entitled Progressing the DNS Abuse Mitigation Agenda held on Tuesday, 10 March 2026, 10:30 - 12:00 Mumbai Time (90 mins).

The ALAC and the At-Large Community continue to believe that more can be done to combat DNS abuse on a number of fronts. You will recall that during ICANN83, the ALAC held a plenary session which engaged the ICANN community in a collaborative conversation on this topic. This was to establish stronger cross-community understanding of continuing widespread abuse cases for better scoping and identification of possible redress.

This ICANN85 At-Large Plenary will retain a focus on proactive tasks to prevent harm from malicious registrations. Through this second collaborative community conversation, we seek to:

 *   Examine the progress of the ongoing GNSO PDP 1 on Associated Name Checks;
 *   Discuss how the community might establish better coordination to tackle Domain Generation Algorithms (DGAs)-based abuse; and
 *   To identify which other priority gap(s) should be subject to policy development next.

 The draft agenda is:

 1.  Welcome and Recap - Moderator (3 min)
 2.  Progress of GNSO PDPs on DNS abuse mitigation, in particular PDP 1 on Associated Name Checks (25 mins)
 3.  Tackling Domain Generation Algorithms (DGAs)-based abuse (36 mins)
 4.  Next priority gap in DNS abuse mitigation (25 mins)
 5.  Closing (1 min) - Moderator

Could you please confirm your availability to participate as a panelist in this At-Large plenary by Monday 9 February?

We would also warmly welcome the presence of your representatives to the PDP 1 on Associated Name Checks and other experts for the discussions on agenda items 2 and 3, respectively.

Please also let us know if you have preliminary questions regarding your participation in the session. Kindly note that we may schedule a call with confirmed panelists to prepare for this session, should that need arise.

Thank you.

Kind regards,

Gisella, on behalf of the ALAC Leadership
