Potential messaging strategies:

1) ASCII issues primarily in order to keep the messaging simple and required investment low.

2) Reputation of companies and application writers that hold themselves out to be technically competent

3) IDN issues as UA is a global issue with global impact

4) The relatively low cost of repair

5) This has to be dome sooner or later anyway: do it once, do it right and never do it again

6) Firms are turning away customers

7) Developing awareness of the new TLD program overall

 

Potential distribution models:

1) Social media, using the domain name industry and ICANN community to multiply messages through their own networks.

2) News stories: using news contacts within different global organizations and using (again) the ICANN community to make placements.

3) Individual corporate contacts: using high-level contact between global organizations to get proper management attention on the issue

4) Formal public relations efforts: hiring the correct firms to publicize the message to the right quarters
