Registrars-
The Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG) is developing a
document that attempts to address the concerns of registrars with respect to
phishing. A draft of the document is attached. I would like to emphasize that
the document is NOT in final form and we are hoping to get feedback from you
all as to how it would be most valuable to you and any comments on the format,
content, etc. We understand that different registrars have different amounts
of resources to combat phishing and our hope is that the document will
highlight key techniques while suggesting more advanced methodologies for the registrars
that have more resources.
Dmitri Alperovitch and Ryan MacFarlane are the main
coordinators of the document for the APWG. I have cc’d them. Both
Dmitri and Ryan will be in LA and are available to discuss the document with
you if you are interested. We have been working with Jon to try to coordinate
some time for Dmitri and Ryan to speak with you all, but it appears that your
schedules are very busy. J If we are able to
reserve a room for a discussion that does not conflict with your meetings, we
will let you know. Also, feel free to contact Ryan and Dmitri if you would
like to set up individual time with them.
If you have comments or questions about the document, don’t
hesitate to send them to Dmitri, Ryan, or myself. We look forward to working
with you all to develop a comprehensive, useful document.
