1. Contextualizing and Engaging with Web
Domains (Valérie Schafer, C2DH)
Already some studies which may act as models
Mixed approaches (quantitative as well as qualitative)
A claim for contextualisation
How to make this kind of study a bit more
« sexy » for the general public ?

2. Contextualisation by
Comparing archived Web and Live Web (of the past)
Investigating the history of domain names in the studied countries
Documenting the evolution of the sources of Web archives (IA or Legal
Deposit, changing frame work, timelines of archiving perimeters)
Creating a common research frame with precise questions

Creating a common research frame with precise questions (replicate the Danish
experience, identify gaps and technical difficulties, etc.)

8. Engaging with Web Domains
Results are often not glamour and we need
to show how useful they may be for scholars in
order to contextualize their research (Webinar ?
Q&A ? A « Who is afraid of Web Domains » video?)
Cooperation with Afnic and other web domains providers / promote results with them
(S. Bortzmeyer as keynote in November for our Warcnet meeting in Luxembourg?) ?
Create infographies and other kind of « results at a glance »
Have common « sexy » questions : first website in each country, epic failures, top 5 in
1996, etc., and eventually develop a kind of interactive game such as a quizz on
Socrative ?
