[ispcp] Note from Laura Mather on the Anti-Phishing Working Group

["Mark McFadden - ISPCP Secretariat" <mcfadden@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I received the following email and offer of an update.  I'm wondering if we
want to take advantage of this in Los Angeles or if we might like to try to
get this as part of our next conference call.  Opinions?

 

-------------   Inserted mail starts here:

 

My name is Laura Mather and I am co-chair of the Domain Name System
sub-committee of the Anti-Phishing Working Group.  This sub-committee has
been working on several initiatives that might be relevant to the ISP
constituency, including:

-       Registrar anti-phishing best practices

-       Proposal for registry phish site suspension

-       Data on domain tasting by phishers

-       Best practices: What to do if your site has been hacked

 

Several members of the sub-committee will be attending ICANN in LA.  If your
constituency would like an update on any of the above initiatives, we would
be happy to make sure that someone can attend your meeting to give this
update.  

 

The Anti-Phishing Working Group understands that there are many complex
issues being addressed by ICANN.  Our goal is to continue working with the
various ICANN bodies to ensure that as policies and procedures are
developed, they take into account the implications to the anti-phishing
community as well as the Internet community as a whole.

 

We look forward to seeing you in LA.

 

-Laura
