We have to combat that argument that consumers should get more
education on WHOIS....given the state of the reseller
situation, I don't see how it would help anything.<br>

<div>Between 2014 and 2016 (I do not know if this is an ongoing
exercise), ICANN commissioned Nielsen to measure the attitudes
of the general public towards the domain name system. The
surveys were administered in 18 languages, and Internet users
globally were asked their opinions and perceptions on different
activities within ICANN's remit. Rather than re-invent the wheel
polling end-users (aside from the fact that I do not think we
have the resources ourselves to obtain a representative sample
of end-users, I think this might be something At-Large should be
doing), I would suggest that we look more closely at the data
from these Nielsen studies, and perhaps try to influence future
questions that are asked. There's some helpful data here
already. It's how we <i>know</i> in the Next-Generation
Registration Directory Service Policy Development Process
working group, for instance, that consumers have no idea what
WHOIS is or that it contains personal data — before we
introduced this data, some other stakeholder groups made the
claim that consumers were fully aware of what was within WHOIS
and used it to religiously to authenticate a website before
making a purchase... the arguments of these stakeholders have
not gone away and have instead morphed into a desire for more
consumer education on WHOIS, but the point remains, we have
great data at our disposal already which we can use to influence
discussions — we just have to use it.<br>

<div>Hi everyone,<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Given that the NCSG's remit is to represent
non-commercial interests as well as be a voice for civil
society and end users, I'm curious to know if we have ever
thought about doing a survey of end user opinions, perhaps
in collaboration with anyone researching similar topics?<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm not sure what questions we would want to pose if this
was the case, but the idea in my head is to help better
facilitate the incorporation of needs, wants, and challenges
faced by the general end user into the PDP.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Have we ever done something like this before?<br>
