Apologies if that's been discussed. But IMHO the first milestone might be

I would actually back up from that. I think it would be valuable to
define what behaviors we believe need to be stopped (namely those
that create a "tragedy of the commons") and why. This would be
useful for outsiders (especially legislative ones) trying to
understand why this is different than paper mail/phone/fax. And it
might also help define what spam is. I'm going to try and put
something together on this Monday.

everyone else's.
