We are thrilled to welcome back Rowena Schoo, Director of Programs and Policy at NetBeacon Institute, to the Nordic Domain Days stage. After joining us at our 10th anniversary edition in 2025, Rowena returns to Stockholm with fresh data and new tools that put numbers behind one of the industry's most important conversations.
NetBeacon Institute (formerly the DNS Abuse Institute) is funded by Public Interest Registry and has become a reference point for how we measure, understand, and reduce DNS abuse. Their Measurement and Analytics Platform (MAP) gives registries and registrars the kind of actionable data the industry has long asked for.
In her session, "The DNS Abuse Landscape: Attribution, patterns, and policy," Rowena will tackle a question that sounds simple but is anything but: who gets credit when a phishing domain disappears? Attribution is messy, the data is often incomplete, and measuring mitigation is harder than it looks. She will share the latest developments from MAP, including new self-service tools for registrars and TLD operators, and walk through findings that show how malicious phishing and bulk registration campaigns concentrate across the namespace, a finding with direct implications for ICANN's ongoing policy development processes.
Rowena's session lands in our Tuesday morning Policy, Legal & Abuse segment, hosted by Lars Steffen of eco. It sets the stage perfectly for the 5th Abuse Workshop later that afternoon.
Welcome back to Stockholm, Rowena! We are looking forward to the conversation.
