Thank you Sarah for starting us on this. With the spirit of the new year, new decade, I would suggest that we issue a statement on our areas of focus for 2020. This will give us a goal and a roadmap on what we want to achieve as Afralo moving forward. Otherwise the already suggested topics will also do.

Michele,
you are of course right (never mind the issues of scale), but remember, this is the AFRALO/AfrICAN waffle session, where prepared resolution is read, approved by whoever could get their trip funded to sit around there and then consigned to the trash bin.

Why would an “end user” care? Why would anyone want to make it more complicated and scary to get online? Surely this is an issue for industry and not the “end user”?
Most of the DNS abuse issues at the moment are due to providers not looking after their own networks / devices or acting on abuse reports.
It’s not a coincidence that we end up having to block entire countries from our network on a regular basis
While the goal of Barrack’s proposal might be honourable I don’t think it’s particularly practical or realistic
To use an analogy.
You can train someone to check the oil in their car, which in the DNS space could be akin to making sure that software was kept up to date
But pushing DNS abuse knowledge would be like expecting me to be able to strip my car down
