** [[Leon Sanchez]] opened the discussion by stressing the need for a consensus definition of [[DNS Abuse]], as well as improving understanding of the approaches to and interests in DNS Abuse responses from different stakeholders. [[Graeme Bunton]] intervened later in the meeting, noting that there was no need to gain consensus on a definition in order to move forward. Stating that it would be very easy to spend endless hours defining the edges of the term, Bunton urged participants to focus on solutions.

** [[Seun Ojedeji]], representing [[AFRALO]], emphasized the importance within the AFRALO region of educating the continent's end user population, who have a strong expectation that the Internet will reliably deliver the information or goods they are searching for.

** [[Satish Babu]] of [[APRALO]] repeated the call for education and capacity building within the region, and added that both policy advocacy and the development of tools, technologies, or institutional knowledge were other opportunities for RALO involvement. He pointed out efforts such as [[NetBeacon]], as well as mooting the possibility of an inter-RALO abuse watchdog, which might be particularly effective at noting trends or new targets (such as the rise in fraudulent charities in the wake of a natural disaster). Babu agreed with Graeme Bunton that a precise, consensus definition had very little benefit, and wasted time that could be spent combating abuse;
