[CPWG] DNS Abuse Education

[Jonathan Zuck]

Oh, I KNOW it needs much more. Like I said, I just started. As for coining a phrase, there are plenty of references to it in the literature

It would need a bit more than that to make it into Wikipedia as an
article, Jonathan,
Basically, it needs citations from Reliable Sources (such as the DNS
abuse study by the Dutch researchers and other reliable sources such as
academic journals). The links in the draft are all to Wikipedia pages
rather than external sources.

Wikipedia isn't a "how-to" site so it would be best to write the article
as an encyclopedia entry with citations and without opinions. The other
aspect that might be brought up is that it is an attempt to coin a
phrase though that stage has long been passed.

There is a lot of DNS related articles and some of them deal with DNS
abuse topics.
