Since auda already has everyone's email address why not send them out a
monthly warning on scams run by people like uregister? Anyone else noticed
how quiet they have become? Uregister is usually sending lots of emails
exalting their leading register position against scams etc but on this one
they are deathly quiet. Go figure!

Maybe Jason and Vic can beat the uregister guys with sticks and we webcast
it?

The Registrar fees paid to auDA should be enough to pay for a quarterly
auDA 'Authoritative' mail out similar to the one I mentioned below.

Maybe each 'Registrar' should also think about sending a mail out to each
registrant advising them of the situation... authorised and ethical
resellers of each registrar?

Maybe auDA could send out a 'new domain pack' with each new registration
or enforce a policy with the registrars to do the same, there are many
solutions to the situation, but again the onus should be on the registrant
to make an informed choice, there is no lack of information available on
the net about these issues.
