Hi Glenn,

Please keep in mind that this list is for the discussion of
ICANN-specific topics related to domain names and numbers. While this
includes a great many issues such as phishing and domain warehousing,
there are many Internet governance related issues -- such as spam,
freedom of speech and net neutrality -- that are beyond its mandate.

There are certainly people on this list with a wide range of interests
that certainly include the topics listed above,  indeed we even have
some ALSs here whose primary mission is spam reduction. However, ICANN
lists are not really the appropriate venue for their discussion.

Also, when wanting to alert the list to topical news stories, sending
the headline and link usually suffices. Copying the whole story can be a
waste of bandwidth -- especially for those not interested in the topic
-- not to mention possible copyright violation.
