The Brand Safety Alliance’s (BSA) Caspar Veltheim will join representatives of European ccTLD Registries at the next CENTR members meeting in Belgium.
CENTR’s members collectively represent millions of registered domains, and the organization works to facilitate collaboration and promote best practice among ccTLD operators in Europe.
The next meeting, to be held in Brussels on 20 November 2024, provides an opportunity for members to hear from industry experts, discuss policy news and connect with colleagues and partners.
Caspar is looking forward to meeting with the European ccTLD community and discussing GlobalBlock’s potential to support a safer internet for brands and consumers.
He will also deliver a presentation on Opportunities for ccTLDs in proactive brand protection, outlining the benefits of GlobalBlock for Registries looking to proactively prevent abuse and boost the integrity of their namespaces.
“The protection of intellectual property is a hot topic across Europe at present, and many organizations are looking for opportunities to proactively improve their defensive measures and promote safety and brand protection,” said Caspar.
“I’m excited to attend the CENTR meeting to connect with ccTLD operators and share the role GlobalBlock can play in this process.”
With new extensions continuing to be added to GlobalBlock’s coverage, there are still opportunities for ccTLD Registries to join the community and help reduce trademark abuse in their namespaces.

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.
