It's about spam in the world. It doesn't directly produce the
WG agenda, but perhaps some of you will if you read it :-)

Although not off topic, I think it is overtaken by events
(cheaper connection time, ADSL and cable modems). This paper is
worth reading in English or French but I don't think it takes
account of the impact of spam on ISPs, which is different from
its effect on end users.

You might prefer to read the summary, available in several
languages at
http://europa.eu.int/comm/internal_market/en/media/dataprot/studies/spam.htm

(long URL; check that it hasn't been folded in the mail).

Thanks to Amar for pointing this out.
