[ispcp] Follow up on our break conversation on Name Collisions outreach (was: Re: [ispcp] Fwd: Domain Name Collisions)

[Izumi Okutani <izumi@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Jim,


Nice meeting you again here in London.

These are some of the URLs for our website and presentation materials 
for Name Collisions outreach.
Most of the informaiton is in Japanese, but I am happy to share major 
points we have shared if this would be of any help.
Hope to keep in touch and collaborate in areas we can.

As a result, we have decided to reach out to like-minded companies to jointly fund the development of these materials.

With the support of a handful of companies, these materials could be rapidly produced and distributed at minimal cost to each of the participating organizations.  If your organization might be interested to supporting and benefiting from this work, please contact me to discuss it in more detail.  We are open to refinement or reasonable expansion of the deliverables, keeping in mind that we want to keep the development timeline as short as possible since the first new gTLDs will go live within the next month.

Integrate the material into a comprehensive awareness and training program.
