Unified Domain Blocking Service Protecting Brands Online | GlobalBlock
Tony Kirsch
Representatives of ccTLD Registries across the Asia-Pacific region will travel to Vietnam this month for APTLD’s next Members Meeting.
Held in the beautiful city of Da Nang from 17-20 September, the meeting provides a forum to discuss policy matters affecting domain name organizations and promote knowledge sharing and collaboration.
The Brand Safety Alliance’s (BSA) Tony Kirsch and Leona Chen-Birkner will attend the meeting and look forward to connecting with the APAC domain name community.
ccTLDs play a significant role in protecting the interests of brand owners around the world, and this is reflective across the included extensions within GlobalBlock currently.
With ccTLDs such as Indonesia’s .id, Sri Lanka’s .lk, Myanmar’s .mm and Papua New Guinea’s .pg already included in the ever growing GlobalBlock service, these namespaces are already seeing the benefits of domain blocking for proactive abuse reduction and building trust and positive community sentiment.
The BSA team will meet with current GlobalBlock participants and welcome the chance to discuss GlobalBlock’s benefits with Registries who are yet to join.
On Tuesday 17 September at 3pm, Tony will also deliver a presentation on Domain Blocking: How it works and why it’s a unique opportunity for ccTLDs.
If you’re attending APTLD86 in Vietnam, please contact us today via hello@brandsafetyalliance.co to arrange a time to meet.

APTLD90 brought the Asia Pacific domain name community to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia last month, with ccTLD registries, technical operators, policy specialists and other members of the regional internet community coming together to discuss the challenges shaping the future of the domain name system.

When the domain name industry meets in Bali this October, it will mark a time of significant change and opportunity for the ICANN community. Following the application period for the second round of new gTLDs, ICANN will publish its full list of prospective TLDs and their applicants, likely just prior to its Annual General Meeting from October 17-22.

When the BSA team attended INTA’s TMAP meeting in Berlin last year, much of the conversation around new TLDs and AI-driven domain abuse was anticipatory. The threat was real, but for many trademark professionals, it still felt like something on the horizon.

From the early days of the Brand Safety Alliance, response to our mission from registries, registrars and brands in the Asia Pacific region has been strong. Many registries have chosen to participate in GlobalBlock and are recognizing the benefits of stronger brand and IP defenses in improving registry health and protecting internet users by proactively stopping abuse before it occurs. In the coming months, our commitment to this community ramps up through several events in partnership with the Asia Pacific Top-Level Domain Association (APTLD). The BSA’s Leona Chen-Birkner will present a webinar to APTLD members, before giving a presentation at the upcoming APTLD90 meeting in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia in September.
