[council] FW: Doing something about dnsipv6 (Re: [ga] Result of PGPkeyexperiment)

[Theresa Swinehart <Theresa.Swinehart@wcom.com>]

As part of our work resolving this spamming issue I think the suggestion
below from Kent Crispin is an excellent one. The spamming has gotten
unacceptable - it's a disruption of service, and because it's being sent
directly to people, as opposed to always the ga list, it's also unsolicited
messages to those receiving it.

I'm happy to prepare the draft letter if there's agreement that the NC do
this.

It would perhaps be even better if we had the names council send a
resolution to ICANN, asking the ICANN chief counsel, president, or whoever
else might be appropriate, to send a formal letter to AOL's legal
department, protesting the actions of one of their subscribers.
