Colleagues Today, the European Commission opened a Call for Evidence inviting stakeholders to share their input ahead of the Digital Network Act (DNA) legislative initiative -- for which a proposal is expected in Q4 2025. The deadline for this call is 11 July 2025.

The EU acknowledges the central role of ICANN in managing the foundations of the Internet architecture."* FYI, the RIPE NCC had submitted its contribution to the Call for Evidence preceding the publication of the Strategy -- you can read it here: https://www.ripe.net/media/documents/RIPE_NCCs_input_on_EU_international_digital_strategy.pdf All the best Romain -- Romain Bosc Sr Public Policy & Governance Officer RIPE NCC E: [email protected]
