From Mason Cole's email to OCL:
- Desire on ALAC’s part to have registrar channel help educate end users on best utilization of a domain name. Too many service providers have varying policies; end-users don’t know what to expect.
- We discussed whether registrars can / should provide information that ALAC could aggregate for general use and for distribution in their outreach and education efforts
- ICANN the organization is of little help – their website is bad and doesn’t show up on search. It’s an unknown entity for end-users.
- ALAC is forming a group on developing more trust in the domain name system, via education. We committed to providing 3-4 ideas for either our own consumer education effort or as our contributions to ALAC’s effort.
- We asked ALAC to provide information about their purported network of end users (up to 2 million) so we could have a better idea about how to tailor potential messages. They may or may not have detailed information available.
ALAC's action items from Registrar-ALAC meeting in San Francisco (found at https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/display/atlarge/ALAC+Meeting+With+Registrars+-+16.03.11):
- Registrars to produce education information products for end-users/consumers by the next meeting or sooner. – Staff/ALAC to follow up with Tim Cole and Registrars.
- Registrars to develop 3 or 4 more ideas for education/outreach and to identify who among them would be ready to work on this. – Staff/ALAC to follow up with Tim Cole and Registrars.
- ALAC to identify any data that could be shared with the Registrars.
