Instead of trying to grok the text below, I'd suggest to refer to the URL at the end. After reading that page, I still cannot see a direct relevance to the NCC's services or procedures. But it may be within the mandate of the Anti-Abuse WG. Just one comment, as there is a reference to "lawfulness" and *not* quoting a particular law - I presume the north-american legal system is fundamentally different from the approach in other regions. My understnading is that everything is lawful, unless it is forbidden. Then, a reference to a particular law is probably helpful or required. lists at help.org wrote: > There are companies now that download the various whois databases and > repackage and resell the data.
