        Hello

        Maybe this is an issue to be included in ripe-159 (European Internet
Registry Policies and Procedures). Every Local-IR (European) must sign a
contract in which you can read: 

2.2   Contributor acknowledges applicability of and
      adheres to the European Internet Registry Policies
      and Procedures as outlined in European Internet Reg-
      istry Policies and Procedure document.


        Somewhere in chapter 5 of ripe-159, a paragraph regarding AUP for mail
spam issues, or some operational instructions (RIPE registry of good
mail-relayers ?) to be followed for the registries, and applied by the LIRs to
their customers.

        I just got an email from Mike Norris with the agenda of the LIR WG.
They
have a slot to discuss I/O with other working groups, and this can be the
place
to suggest to this WG the evaluation of the impact of such recommendations in
the Internet Registry procedures.

The first point to discuss if this way success is, from the antisapm Wg,
define
procedures and rules. Under European Organizations control, if possible. 

The second point is how to include this procedures in RIPE-159, and the
commitment from all the RIPE NCC members to the rules.

        From the European point of view, this can be global enough to start.
Also RIPE database can be a place to store certain kind of information useful
for this proposal.

        Regards

                Josema
