Hi Frank (Co-chair),
Thanks for your email, brother ;-)

...i see few parallel (alternative for some) possible actions:
P1| AFRINIC identifies the concerned contact objects associated with the 
behavior in order to discuss it with them;
P2| DBWG organises regular sessions to discuss non optimal behaviors 
such as the aforementioned;
P3| AFRINIC invites identified contact objects to join DBWG session, 
precising that it would particularly be of interest to them;
P4| some of those regular DBWG sessions could serves as deployathons, 
on-demand;
P5| write or point to BCOPs on topic of concern;
P6| build or point to tools that can help volunteers to check and 
ameliorate their configurations/db-objects;
P7| update the dashboard compliance tool, when applicable;
P8| align test-whois instance with the production one or at best with 
the development one;
P9| use the test-whois instance during those regular DBWG sessions;
Maybe it makes no sense; just let me know, please :-)

Shalom,
--sb.
