DISCUSSION: What are the current domain abuse incidents in SA? How can they be resolved, challenges and successes.

The Internet Governance Forum is a United Nations' process that provides an open, multi-stakeholder, and inclusive platform for dialogue and best practice sharing on public policy issues inherent to the governance, regulation and development of the internet.

The ZAIGF is aimed at strengthening linkages and collaboration among relevant stakeholders in South Africa as a means of maximizing our country's benefit from the ever-growing digital economy. The audience of the ZAIGF normally consists of government, ICT community, business, academia and civil society representatives

As a responsible corporate citizen and with the best interest of our employees and other stakeholder groups in mind, we’ve decided to implement a combination of work from home and a staggered work from office ethic at the Registry. All registry employees have the necessary technology and tools to continue business as usual. Kindly note that best endeavors will be made to ensure that quality of service is not compromised and all Registry- related telephone, mobile and email contacts will be operational and monitored during the core business hours of 08:00 until 17:00 (SAST).

For ease of reference the following primary contact details are still relevant:

In addition, all stakeholder groups are encouraged to facilitate meetings using remote participation tools and platforms so as to give effect to social distancing principles. Our COVID-19 OHS Team is also in place to monitor developments on this matter and will advise management on the need to implement any additional steps informed by the rate of infection of the Virus within the country.

We hope that you are also taking the necessary precautionary measures as this pandemic can only be mitigated and extinguished through collective responsible action.

Continue to keep healthy and safe!
