Forwarded on behalf of Katrina from .lv Gabi ------ Forwarded Message From: Katrina Sataki <katrina@nic.lv> Date: Wed, 4 Aug 2010 07:37:34 -0700 To: <ccnso-members@icann.org> Subject: [ccnso-members] An Open Letter from NIC.LV Dear All, We at NIC.LV (Latvia) had a conflict recently with the Spamhaus project - an international organisation that has the mission to track the Internet's spam operations. We have written and attached an Open Letter describing the conflict. NIC.LV fully supports the fight against illegal or improper acts on the Internet. We run the CERT NIC.LV team and consider that our goals concur with the goals of Spamhaus. However, we strongly object to the way incidents are investigated and handled by Spamhaus. I sincerely hope that no one would ever be treated by Spamhaus or any other organisation so carelessly and in such an arrogant manner. Thank you for your support! Sincerely, Katrina Sataki Manager NIC.LV, Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Latvia Raina bulv. 29, Riga LV-1459 Tel.: +371 67085858, Fax: +371 67225072 www.nic.lv <http://www.nic.lv> ------ End of Forwarded Message
