[afrinic-anti-spam-discuss] step0

Hi RH,

even if the forum advances to become a WG, the list remains in place for 
online discussions.

We may have to agree on the following:

- are we tackling the spam problem from a technical/engineering or
   non-technical engineering approach?

- since spam has been a wide topic of discussion, are we mainly looking
   at the african perspective to spam? What exactly? 419 scams? fishing?
   why?

- should we task ourselves to develop some kind of 'best practices' for
   our community w.r.t spam? is this something that is necessary, and in
   which case, we have a mandate to do?

any other ideas welcome.
