[ga] New Attacks on Spam. Should ICANN registries and registrars sign on?

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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

  Here is an approach and/or method which ICANN could be deploying
in order to address spam and spammers.

Project Honey Pot started operating back in November. The Project
provides its participants with a script that generates fake webpages
with unique honeypot email addresses. The end result is that Project
Honey Pot can connect email harvesters' IP addresses with the spam
received by those honeypot email addresses. Which is pretty nifty, but
left some people asking how that would help legal attacks on spam.
Well, it seems that some lawyer over at SecurityFocus has an answer."
