Various stakeholders currently participate in Internet governance: governments, the private sector, the tech community and civil society. These groups have different ways of thinking and different strategies that can be complex to interpret and which cover dense and diverse topics: cybersecurity, technical infrastructure, regulations, geopolitics, etc. They thus contribute to the definition and development of the norms and standards of this dynamic ecosystem.

Anyone wishing to be involved and represent their organisation in the different governance forums, spread their ideas and contribute to updating regulations must first of all understand the stakes and roles of the different stakeholders in Internet governance. By taking part in this training programme, you will gain the knowledge base needed to be able to take a stance and act within the various bodies.

  • Familiarize yourself with the ecosystem (locations, players, and processes) to establish your position

Domain names and online abuse

Domain names constitute sources but also targets of malicious practices on the Internet, including cybersquatting, typosquatting and phishing. Yet specialists are still struggling to classify the numerous types of abuse to which they are subject and to act with the appropriate legal tools. For domain name professionals it is imperative to master the legal context and the most appropriate solutions for identifying, preventing and putting a stop to these various kinds of abuse and thus support their clients in protecting and defending their rights (domain names, brands and trademarks, signs and logos, corporate names, etc.).
