[governance] Re: ICANN Studienkreis

[Robert Guerra]

The whole issue of - SPAM - how to deal with it from a technical 
perspective and the policy issues involved likely would be a good idea 
for a workshop and/or panel at Athens.

An idea would be to have a panel with these different perspectives:

- technologists and/or engineers : explaining the issue and the 
numerous methods used to combat spam

- Consumer protection and/or developping country perspective : 
Desribing the costs, damages and harm SPAM does..

- Govt/ policy experts : describing an overview of the protocols and/or 
frameworks in place to deal with spam

- NGO/digital rights experts : describing the rights implications of 
spam filtering. Unintended consequeces and implications for free speech


There was a panel recently at the 2006 NTEN NTC conference titled -  
The Future of Email Delivery - that would be good to replicate somehow. 
Refs are below.

I hope this idea proves useful. Would be good to collaboratively 
develop it further.

Robert
