[registrars] Anti-Phishing Working Group Document

[Ross Rader]

Laura -

Thanks for this. It is very helpful.

It would be useful to better understand how the anti-phishing and 
trademark community would have registrars work to resolve some of the 
conflicts between the "common carrier" type status of the DNS and Domain 
Registration System and the highly aggressive measures proposed by this 
document.

I look forward to discussing this document further with you in L.A.
