[APRALO-Policy] Call to contribute, participate and/or represent APRALO in "The At-Large Community and DNS Abuse: An Individual User Education Campaign"

[Justine Chew]

Dear APRALO colleagues,

This call is made ahead of a session planned for ICANN69.

PLANNING*The At-Large Community and DNS Abuse: An Individual User Education
Campaign *


*Background:* During ICANN 67, the ALAC committed to a two-pronged strategy
with regards to DNS Abuse. First, we would play a leadership role in
promoting the necessary dialog, within the ICANN community, needed for
reforms to ICANN policy, additional tools for ICANN Contract Compliance and
best practices of all parties. The second prong, to which we have
committed, is an education campaign, designed to alert our constituency,
individual end users, to the dangers of DNS abuse and strategies to protect
themselves.

It was proposed that representatives from each of the RALOs will discuss:

   - Existing regional efforts already underway including available
   resources and lessons learned
   - Additional resources (videos, flyers, etc.) that are necessary to
   enhance outreach on this topic
   - Creative ways to get these resources in front of as many individual
   ends users around the world as possible
   - Potential metrics to evaluate each of these efforts to allow for
   program assessment and refinement

*Current Status: *This is the follow on action, marking the first of many
onward discussions, necessary to launch a large scale education campaign on
DNS Abuse.

*Next Steps**: **Each RALO to identify a representative to this discussion
during ICANN69*. That representative should come prepared with an
understanding of what resources of which they are aware, which ones are
being developed already by local organizations (ISOC, RALOs and other
regional organizations) and what additional materials they believe are
needed in their region. They should be prepared to brainstorm on how best
to organize this effort at the regional level, once materials are identified;
in other words:

   - Should we identify a standard set of resources and then have the RALOs
   supplement them with regional flavor?
   - Should this effort be parked as Capacity Building or Outreach?

The goal is to establish a group to work on this topic going forward,

*Particular Focus for APRALO: *To identify one or more representatives to
act as our regional liaison(s) to this campaign and to help collate
relevant information currently available with our region as our input.

Please reply to this email:

   - To contribute relevant information on existing efforts, available
   resources, or ideas on distribution, or evaluation metrics -- a separate
   workspace can be set up should the need arise
   - If you wish to volunteer for the role of joint regional liaison -- you
   will be contacted bilaterally on further arrangements
   - If you have further questions regarding the above preliminary details


Thank you and kind regards,

Justine
