Re: [ga] Containment

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Eric and all former DNSO GA members or other interested
stakeholders/users,

  However your reference below is a virus of a medical sort, which is a
much
different and differently addressed issue, although there are some small

similarities...

  What is of concern and at issue is this forum, managed by ICANN
has not and seems will not address the fact that preventative measures,
in terms of available software such as SPF for instance, is not deployed

to prevent the vast majority of these verii from infecting
stakeholders/users
and other critical infrastructure networks and systems.  As such the
gross irresponsibility is inexcusable...
