[anti-abuse-wg] Spam FAQs, Whois Query Restrictions etc

Morning,

There's been an amount of useful discussion recently, but I think it 
might be all getting a little circular at this point. I'd like to thank 
the NCC, as others have done, for their work in updating the FAQs and 
I'm very glad the overall response has been positive.

On the matter of network-tools.com and the whois restrictions, I think 
the point has been presented and argued, but it has also been argued 
against and I don't think we're getting anywhere. Russ, if you want to 
take this any further you have the option of lobbying the NCC directly 
either as or via a member, or seeing what's possible via the policy 
route. The Chairs of the working group (aa-wg-chairs at ripe.net) are happy 
to help you with the latter.

I don't think that claims about other companies, especially those that 
involve judicial proceedings, are useful, and they are even less useful 
if they cannot be backed up, so let's not have any of that on the list 
please.

Thanks,

Brian.
