topDNS Best Practice Series: Improving Abuse Handling Through Trusted Cooperation

TNN & eco's topDNS Initiative

invite you to join us for a webinar.

Join eco and topDNS for a webinar introducing the Trusted Notifier Network (TNN), a trust framework that connects qualified notifiers and Internet intermediaries through a standardised, indemnity-backed abuse reporting channel. The session will look at how trusted notifier approaches can contribute to more effective and scalable responses to abuse, and what this means for registries, registrars, hosting providers, and other stakeholders across the domain name ecosystem.

In this webinar, we will explore:

  • what the Trusted Notifier Network is and how it works,
  • how trusted notifier models can support more effective and more accountable abuse mitigation across the full chain of internet infrastructure;
  • why multi-stakeholder cooperation matters — and why the meaningful inclusion of hosting providers and ISPs is essential to closing the procedural gaps in current abuse response;
  • and how these developments relate to ongoing industry efforts to mitigate DNS abuse and other forms of online harm.

As part of eco’s broader work in the domains and numbers space, and topDNS’s commitment to reducing online abuse, this webinar will offer practical insight, current context, and room for discussion among members and experts.
