It would not really be Nordic Domain Days without Thomas Rickert. Director Names & Numbers at eco - Association of the Internet Industry, Managing Director of rickert.law, GNSO Council member at ICANN, founder of the topDNS Initiative, and a constant presence on our Tuesday morning Policy Block since 2022. He is back in Stockholm for 2026.

Thomas takes the stage on Tuesday morning with "Policy, Practice, and Progress: What's New in DNS Abuse and Cybersecurity Compliance", a 30-minute briefing for anyone who needs to know where the rules and the work are heading next.

If your day job touches policy, compliance, or operational abuse mitigation, Thomas is the voice that ties them together. He is one of very few people who can hold a room across all three at once, and he does it without slides full of jargon or false certainty.

Thomas also moderates the DNS Abuse Workshop on Tuesday afternoon, alongside iQ. Two reasons to make sure you are in the room.

Welcome back, Thomas. The Tuesday Policy Block would not be the same without you.
