Ching,

do you have figures for that?

We don't see much DNS abuse in .NA, but a definite pattern regarding SPAM, in that this is reduced over the weekends and hence (presumably) also during holidays.

There is not really a way to measure this, as I don't want to allow Claude or any other LLM to read all my email just yet, but Registrars/Registries might be able to SQL this.

I have also shortened the email trace/history for the sake of brevity, which we all can do.

greetings, el

We should also keep in mind that perhaps attackers do not observe the same holidays or rest periods that we do. Maintaining our momentum is crucial to staying ahead of the issues we are tasked.

Best,

Ching

Hi all - A different perspective from a US-based participant (not claiming at all to speak for all US participants) - I have no problem at all with having calls on any of the US-based holidays Volker notes below. I think we should specifically move forward with those calls, in fact.

There are going to be numerous potential bank holidays/days of significance that could fall on Mondays over the coming months. If we observe each one, we could really delay progress unnecessarily.

This is why each group has several members, participants and alternates, so that hopefully coverage can be arranged in advance. I plan on being off the day after Easter as well, but was also planning on dialing in.

Thanks,

Brian
