Session details
The session organised by the geoTLD.group will shed light on the potential impact of the revised EU Network and Information Security Directive (NIS2 Directive) on the day to day business of small and medium sized registry operators. It intends to assess how existing practices are in line with the requirements set by NIS2 and explore how the community can help to address concerns about a fragmented implementation.
While the session will focus on the registration procedure from a geoTLD and registry perspective, it is expected to be useful for other actors across the DNS community.
The overall aim of the session is to be informative:
- Analyze NIS2 requirements in light of existing practices of DNS operators
- Raise the concern of a fragmented implementation of NIS2
- Engage the community in working on proposals for an harmonized implementation regime
