🩷 As a Gold Partner of the Nordic Domain Days last week, it was great to connect with registries, registrars and peers from across the domain industry. This year, a few topics stood out: • dotBrand domains continue to attract significant attention, particularly as the application window closes on the 12th of August. Many organisations are actively assessing the long-term value of owning their own top-level domain. • DNS abuse remains a key topic, with continued collaboration across the industry to improve reporting, mitigation and policy frameworks. • AI adoption is accelerating across the industry, supporting everything from domain management and data validation to NIS2 compliance and customer-facing services. • Registries and registrars continue to increase their focus on domain data quality and compliance, with stricter controls and enforcement on the horizon. ❤️ It was also great to see that Internetstiftelsen are continuing to drive important conversations and initiatives across the Nordic domain industry. 🩷 Thanks to everyone we met for the insightful discussions – we’re already looking forward to next year!

Europe is not asking boards to “care” about digital resilience anymore. It is asking them to prove it. That is the shift. And on 1 July 2026, Ireland steps into a uniquely important position as it assumes the Presidency of the Council of the European Union. This is not just a diplomatic milestone. It comes at a moment when Europe is reshaping the rulebook for digital risk, cyber resilience, AI governance and executive accountability. Ireland has also just moved forward with the Regulation of Artificial Intelligence Bill 2026 — the domestic legislation needed to give effect to the EU AI Act in Ireland. That matters. Because the Bill is not just about AI policy. It helps establish Ireland’s national enforcement architecture for AI governance, including the AI Office of Ireland and a distributed model involving sectoral regulators. For boards, the direction of travel is unmistakable: -DORA makes ICT risk governance a management-body responsibility. -NIS2 expands cyber accountability across essential and important sectors. -The EU AI Act brings AI governance into the enterprise risk and oversight agenda. Ireland’s AI Bill brings that European AI governance framework closer to domestic enforcement. Different roads. Same destination. The boardroom. The old model was simple: -Cyber was technical. -AI was innovation. -Resilience was operational. That model is finished. The new model is very different: *Can the board demonstrate oversight? *Can it evidence resilience? *Can it explain third-party dependency? *Can it prove incident readiness? *Can it govern AI use across the organisation? *Can it defend the decisions it made before something went wrong? That is why I am hosting a live executive briefing: Dear Board: Digital Resilience Is Now Your Responsibility Wednesday 1 July 2026 11:00–12:00 IE/UK Online This is not a technical cyber session. It is a board-level briefing on governance, accountability, liability and what leadership must now be able to evidence under DORA, NIS2, the EU AI Act and Ireland’s emerging AI regulatory architecture. The question I want every board to ask is this: If a regulator, insurer, major customer or shareholder asked tomorrow whether your organisation is digitally resilient — could you prove it? Not assert it. Not hope it. Not rely on a green dashboard. Prove it.

Is it time to put Clinger-Cohen (the 1996 legislation that created Gov't CIOs) out to pasture? I've harbored concerns about the structural issues with the role of Gov't CIOS for nearly two decades. A piece I recently published in Government Technology puts this on paper. TLDR: The Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996 was a response to the technology landscape of the 1990s. It was built for a world that no longer exists and hasn't for decades. Waves of "fixes" and a plethora of new titles (CDOs, digital officers, innovation officers and CTOs and now, AI officers) haven't fixed the underlying issues. It’s 2026 — we deserve roles built for this century. Read the full post: https://lnkd.in/gK4AFUEF

The EU’s Digital Omnibus is certainly shaking up how the industry handles intellectual property (#IP). While it seeks to simplify the single data market, it also highlights a new friction: How #tradesecrets are managed under the Data Act. This blog by Eversheds Sutherland is a good analysis of how the Data Act’s new rules force businesses to proactively defend their IP. You can no longer just say "it's a secret." Companies need to prove the risk of serious economic harm and notify authorities. On reading the blog – here are my thoughts: 1️⃣ Businesses can resist disclosure where sharing would seriously harm economic interests, or where there’s a high risk of onward transfer to third countries with weak protections, but they must notify users and authorities to rely on this carve out. This creates tension between mandated data disclosure and trade secret protection. 2️⃣ Companies will need to have an increasing focus on operational safeguards in respect of this, ensuring that they have concrete controls (granular access, segregation, minimisation, auditability) and robust contractual terms to protect trade secrets. 3️⃣ Trade secret protection strategies should be re benchmarked against these evolving rules to ensure refusal grounds, notice requirements, and cross border risk assessments are embedded in governance playbooks. In short… the burden of proof is shifted onto the business. If your trade secret strategy hasn’t been re-benchmarked against the Digital Omnibus yet, you might be exposing your most valuable IP.
