Dynamic Coalition on DNS Issues
Mind the governance gap! Broadening the multistakeholder response to DNS-related cybersecurity threats (Working title)

Session description

In recent years, there has been an energetic response to defining and combating ‘DNS Abuse.’ Segments of the DNS industry have implemented voluntary responses, and EU Regulators have brought in new legislative obligations, NIS2, to provide access to registration data.

DNS Abuse has been defined mostly in narrow terms to refer to a specific set of threats relating to the malicious use of domain names. But what about all the other threats that are transmitted using DNS, such as content-related issues and their connection with the DNS? What are the governance gaps in non-DNS namespaces, such as naming systems that use the blockchain?

Governance gaps create multiple fragmentation risks - either through inconsistent, tactical responses, regional or national regulatory responses that create conflicts of law and drive data localisation or impede the free flow of data across borders. Recent years have seen a flourishing of multilateral processes through the UN to tackle issues such as responsible state behaviour in cyberspace, the Ad Hoc Committee on cybercrime, the Second Protocol to the Budapest Convention, the e-Evidence regulation and the OECD principles on cross-border data sharing. Meanwhile, there has been a stalling of new multistakeholder processes to tackle emerging policy issues that require international coordination.

The Dynamic Coalition on DNS Issues presents a roundtable discussion to explore these complex issues, and foster European multistakeholder responses.
