Re: [gnso-rap-dt] "Slamming" recommendations

["Mike O'Connor" <mike@xxxxxxxxxx>]

i think we were edging towards consensus on Recommendation 3 by backing off the 
reliance on ICANN staff a bit and perhaps allowing the GNSO some latitude to 
contract out the research to a third party.  after rereading the 
recommendation, i also decided that we might be well advised to narrow it down 
so that it's just aimed at research for now (rather than research + education). 
 i took out the 2nd to the last sentence mostly because it was a little 
awkward, and seemed redundant but don't feel strongly about that.  so maybe a 
rewrite of the recommendation looks like this?

The RAPWG recommends the GNSO monitor for this abuse in the Generic space and 
designate a team (ICANN Staff) to conduct research to determine the nature and 
extent of the problem. and create education for awareness.  The WG believes 
this issue warrants formal definition review but understands that the lack of 
credible data to substantiate it does not warrant a PDP at this time.  However, 
the issue does appear to be wide spread enough and the deceptive tactics used 
provide an indication that harms do exist and any policy making body should 
understand the scope and breath prior to any further decisions.  Equally 
important, the team responsible for the research should be tasked with creating 
a disseminating education and awareness of this issue.
