Dear colleagues,<br>
<br>
please see my email below. My personal view is that I am not
surprised that National Legislation is being considered since ICANN
and the Domain Name Industry have been unwilling to tackle the
problem of DNS abuse for so long. I know a lot is being done now,
but it may well be too little, too late. What do you think?<br>
Kindest regards,<br>
<br>
Olivier<br>

Dear Colleagues,<br>
<br>
On 20 July 2023, the UK's Department for Science, Innovation and
Technology (DSIT) opened a consultation seeking views on proposals
for the design of regulations in relation to UK-related domain
name registries.
<p>This consultation asks for views on the abuse of relevant
domain names, to ensure procedures remain in place to deal with
both misuse and unfair uses of domain names.</p>
<p>The consultation runs for six weeks and will close on 31 August
2023.</p>
<p>Read the <a
href="https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/powers-in-relation-to-uk-related-domain-name-registries"
class="govuk-link" moz-do-not-send="true">consultation
proposals</a> - which propose dealing with DNS abuse by
introducing national legislation.<br>
</p>
<p>Kindest regards,</p>
