July07 SSAC Report

Attended SSAC meeting in San Juan
- WHOIS report
  - SSAC report determined that email addresses appearing in WHOIS registration records lead to statistically significant increase in unsolicited email (SPAM) . Address used in registering domain gets huge increase in spam.
  - Interest that follow-up report be more extensive and involve/engage consumers/at-large. Details will be announced when WHOIS report is finalized and published.
  - Would be strategic for At-large to be involved (engage NCUC perhaps as well..)
