[ALAC] Fwd: [SOAC-Leaders] Informed and Active Domain Name Registrants are Essential for a Secure and Stable DNS - ICANN by Akram Atallah

[Seun Ojedeji]

Good to read indeed. I for one will like to see this started off with the
significant registrant base within ICANN (At-Large/NCSG).

Good that it seem ICANN who has the resources has now seen to need for
registrant education/awareness. Hopefully these reduces the effort always
put in explaining that volunteers like At-Large can't campion these; the
organisation should by utilising At-Large as a resource base to achieving
their goal.

Overall am glad it's now an organisational task/goal and not an expectation
arbitrarily put on atlarge.

Regards
