<p>I believe I mentioned when we discussed this a while ago...I
would like to see work on a handbook of registrants rights and
obligations (with the emphasis on rights) recommence. There have
been a lot of changes in information policies since the last
effort fizzled out around 15 years ago. Bear in mind that many
ordinary users buy their domains through resellers, and have no
idea who the accredited registrars are, or who ICANN is for that
matter. Public information needs to be better, what better way
than a handbook. So no, we don't need just a policy status report
on this stuff, we need a total review of how RNHs understand their
rights and obligations.</p>
<p>Yes, this demand is slightly off topic. One has to do that when
a longstanding need is being ignored....<br>

last year, ICANN Compliance noted some registrant
confusion around existing ERRP/EDDP policy and domain

Council requested information on what education
materials re: ERRP/EDDP policy currently exist (see
portion of original Council request below). During the
last Council meeting, Brian Gutterman from ICANN org
responded to this request from Council by outlining
the current resources available to registrants
