by Mark McFadden - ISPCP Secretariat Aug. 28, 2007

Aug. 28, 2007

I received the following email and offer of an update. I'm wondering if we want to take advantage of this in Los Angeles or if we might like to try to get this as part of our next conference call. Opinions? ------------- Inserted mail starts here: My name is Laura Mather and I am co-chair of the Domain Name System sub-committee of the Anti-Phishing Working Group. This sub-committee has been working on several initiatives that might be relevant to the ISP constituency, including: - Registrar anti-phishing best practices - Proposal for registry phish site suspension - Data on domain tasting by phishers - Best practices: What to do if your site has been hacked Several members of the sub-committee will be attending ICANN in LA. If your constituency would like an update on any of the above initiatives, we would be happy to make sure that someone can attend your meeting to give this update. The Anti-Phishing Working Group understands that there are many complex issues being addressed by ICANN. Our goal is to continue working with the various ICANN bodies to ensure that as policies and procedures are developed, they take into account the implications to the anti-phishing community as well as the Internet community as a whole. We look forward to seeing you in LA. -Laura =========== Laura Mather, Ph.D. Senior Scientist, MarkMonitor 303 Second Street, Suite 800 North San Francisco, CA 94107 Direct: +1.415.278.8456 Fax: +1.415.278.8444 lmather(a)markmonitor.com www.markmonitor.com <http://www.markmonitor.com/> Mark McFadden Secretariat, ISPCP Constituency mcfadden(a)ispcp.info
