The main problem with Keith Moore's statement is that it provides no
insight about what to take action against. Todate all anti-spam
technology has been implemented on behalf of the recipient. It seems
like it will be impossible to impose a motivation on the sender without
totally changing what we mean when we say email.

It might be a resonable strategic position to re-archetect email along
lines that enable enforcement of sender responsability. But that is not
a tactical solution available to us in the short term.

As such that Mr Moore's statement belongs in the overview, scope or
concusion sections of any formal statement of a goals document for
this group.
