[ga] Spammers' Upend DNS

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All former DNSO GA members or other interested stakeholders/users,

"eWeek reports on the latest trick of spammers: getting around
DNS-based  lookups. By registering a domain *after* the spam
goes out advertising it, they can get around blacklists.
However, that causes all sorts of problems for ISPs and anti-spam
services. Paul Judge, CTO at Ciphertrust, says "Even in large
enterprises, it's becoming very common to see a large spam load cripple
the DNS infrastructure.""

  Well I seem to recall we discussed this very possibility some time
ago now.  It seems to have come to pass...  Did ICANN yet
again drop the ball?  Seems so...

liability depends upon whether B is less than L multiplied by
P: i.e., whether B is less than PL."
