<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">The incident that generated the letter from the Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, and the response by G. Marby, raises questions on ICANN’s
role at the occasion of certain Internet activities in conflict situations. There is more to this than the question of restricting access to the Internet, the need to act neutral and within ICANN’s core mission. The questions cover a broad scope of legal
and ethical considerations that may need to be fully explored. Above all, the security and stability of the Internet and the systems reliant upon it are at risk. </span><span style="color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">The question is: how does ICANN ensure the openness (including accessibility) of the Internet in conflict situations and how does ICANN manage the impact on the security
and stability of the Internet?</span><span style="color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">In my humble opinion, this calls for a thorough impact analysis and policies that effectively map, identify and combat forms of abuse as warranted by overarching global security
concerns. Ultimately, this approach may set more realistic expectations in the Community.</span><span style="color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
