[anti-abuse-wg] OECD report on SPAM

Hello,

http://www.oecd.org/officialdocuments/displaydocumentpdf/?cote=dsti/doc%282010%295&doclanguage=en

In short, in this long report, abuse handling is pinpointed as essential 
in cutting off spam & crimes (there are no cyber crimes, only crimes 
imho). Sounds like trivial to me, but who knows ?

I guess some pressure is directed from OECD to RIR for an «improved» 
abuse handling :)  This may be the LEA pressure we heard of on this list 
sooner and the reason it came back to life after years of sleeping. :P

Since there is a bimodal distribution with very few ISP (50) accounting 
for 30% of spam and they suggest to target legitimate ISP.

Europa (RIPE region) seems to be the region with the most infected big 
ISP (which is not correlated with volume)...

* making the asumption that these 50 ISP have a poor abuse handling ;
* remembering that RIPE IP handling is linked to the respect of the 
procedure and the quality (contractually) ;
* observing that RIPE region is one of the most infected ;
My question is :  does RIPE have a responsability in this topic by not 
enforcing the «we shall not give you new IP» rules when ISP failed to 
handle their abuse ?

sed quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
