with this I wholeheartedly agree... spammers have a long history of causing Net
arterial congestion and ICANN doesn't so much as consider this an important
issue. But of course I agree with you that they will probably screw up a SPAM
UDRP too... 

I think some people might be confused about how ICANN could disconnect a
spammer, but it would be possible to pull IP numbers from spammers and
accomplices to spam for net abuse. (of course spammers know how to fake the
headers though) 

Not really so much a domain name issue as I would think a IP number issue...
you might know more than me though.

all the best, Robin
