[registrars] FW: Senate passes anti-Spam bill

[Paul Stahura]

Section 1037 may have an implication for our business that are US based I
guess
It says:
"...registers, using information that materially falsifies the identity of
the actual registrant, for five or more electronic mail accounts or online
user accounts or two or more domain names, and intentionally initiates the
transmission of multiple commercial electronic mail messages from any
combination of such accounts or domain names..."

There may be other implications too.
(I suppose it will be modified by house and passed there next)
S.877

> Hi - I thought you'd want to see this news of a likely new anti-spam law.
While it is not explicitly targeting the DNS, there are implications for our
businesses.  I would be interested in anything you are hearing on this
issue.> >  <<Welcome to the Mercury News on Bayarea.com.htm>>
