On Wednesday 13 May 2026, at 16:00 UTC, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO), the Internet Service Providers and Connectivity Providers Constituency (ISPCP) and the Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC), host a webinar ‘Implementing DNS Blocking Responsibly‘.

Blocking domains that are maliciously used can protect users, but it raises questions about accuracy, due process, and unintended collateral effects. This session unpacks best practices and SSAC’s latest guidance on responsible blocking, ensuring balance between security and trust, including key take-aways from the latest SSAC document on this topic.
