    <p>Hi Greg, <br>
      <br>
      Good comment. <br>
      <br>
      I agree on the educational part. But lets not stop there, how cool
      would it be if you could surf to the RDS, look up the domain and
      the select copyright issues, and it would have the option to send
      a message to the correct parties for copyright issues? And this is
      just one of the many ideas based on Chris his use case, I just
      framed one solution here. <br>
      <br>
      Again, and I am going to sound like a broken record here, we are
      not even close to the solution phase, this is just an example  on
      how you can make the RDS work for you.<br>
      <br>
      Best regards, <br>
      <br>
      Theo <br>

          pretty much like what I was going to type in before I saw his
          email, at least for the usual IP infringement matters.  When
          it comes to phishing/spam/fraud domains and sites (often
          siteless domains being used to support a typosquatted email
          account), there's not much point in contacting the registrant
          (but there I will often contact LEA).  The registrar is
          rarely, if ever, the first call or even the second (if the
          registrant is not, e.g., Donald Duck at 123 Fake Street)
          (maybe for a siteless typosquat supporting phishing/fraud
          emails, and even there one needs to get to the email provider
          first (although I've had one case where the sender and the
          email provider were both buried behind various anonymizing
          methods, beyond my ability to penetrate)).  A reasonably
          well-documented complaint is a must, of course.  I think this
          is true of the colleagues I know (attorney and non-attorneys)
          and have worked with, as well.</div>

          style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Unfortunately, there
          are plenty of non-specialists (attorneys and others) who will
          take care of these kinds of matters and they will go to the
          bright shiny object of the registrar with the abuse contact
          number.  It looks easy, and why give away work you think you
          can do yourself.  Training and education could come out of the
          IP or other relevant communities, or out of non-ICANN
          cooperative measures akin to the Healthy Domains Initiative. 
          Of course, there's already a fair amount of education out
          there for anyone who wants to know how to pursue these matters
          appropriately, but the problem is there's no one place that
          all of us on both sides of the complainant/recipient dyad can
          point to and say "read this and do what it says before you
          send another [adjective] complaint to a [adjective]
          registrar."  (Of course, there are plenty of nuances,
          exceptions and tricks of the trade, but the basics are pretty
          ... basic.)</div>

                                                Your comment yanked my
                                                chain. I agree with you
                                                100% when you say “The
                                                problem is from the
                                                takedown / infringement

                                                <b>so part of this is
                                                  education</b>.” Good
                                                idea. How do we get
                                                there from here?<br>
                                                <br>
                                                As an economist I get
                                                pulled into very large
                                                project proposals that
                                                are being clobbered
                                                together by well
                                                meaning, well educated,
                                                people with their own
                                                personal PICs (Public
                                                Interest Commitments)
                                                and who just want to do
                                                good. In the “good
                                                works” area there are
                                                just as many crooks,
                                                frauds, and sociopaths
                                                as can be found trolling
                                                in the DNS system.
                                                However, over and over
                                                again it takes me less
                                                than two hours of due
                                                diligence to uncover yet
                                                one more “financier” who
                                                is a fraud, a crook, or
                                                simply trolling for a
                                                big  hit, and has the
                                                financial resources of a
                                                raccoon, information the
                                                “good works” people have
                                                managed to overlook. <br>
                                                <br>
                                                An effective educational
                                                strategy is clearly
                                                needed here. That may
                                                include a <b><i>DumbOne’s
                                                    Guide to DNS
                                                    Complaints</i></b>
                                                (avoided a trademark
                                                there) and maybe even
                                                generic semi-standard
                                                forms for initiating
                                                complaints. To do that,
                                                it would be useful to
                                                know the data on types
                                                of complaints by type of
                                                complainant (e.g. how
                                                many and what types come
                                                from lawyers, from
                                                individuals, etc.) as
                                                background for better
                                                education here.  Access
                                                to that "How to" guide
                                                should at least be
                                                flagged in the domain
