I agree with Wendy that we need to find ways to accept
inputs/contacts from public without bothered too much
by the spam. IF we have decent spam filter, we could
perhas deal with it, right?

And, frankly, we here in Bali have been quite busy in
making RALO start and thus have little energy to look
into the RegisterFly - and we will have election of
ALAC members and officers in the coming weeks
before Lisbon which will also consume our extra
hours as being volunteers. Europeans may be in
similar mode. But, I appreciate Wendy and others to
investigate this case and collectively come up as ALAC
for the comment to ICANN in a timely manner.

Thanks,

A couple questions.

Is anyone monitoring <http://forum.icann.org/alac-forum/> ?
We should have a way for the ordinary Internet user to get in touch with
ALAC, and through us, ICANN (as if we can get in touch with ICANN), but
I thought we had closed this forum due to spam.  It seems still to be
alive, and collecting several dozen complaints about RegisterFly, for one.
Can we establish better means of getting public input???

1.1 - Do we want to say something about ICANN's failure to demand data
escrow, as the general public had thought was provided for in the RAA
(3.6 )?  I see this as a place where even ICANN's standard "no third
party beneficiary" language wouldn't save them from suit by a harmed
registrant.
