Did you look at the NO UCE/NO UBE banner proposal that I described
about a week ago? It does everything a global opt-out list is
supposed to with far fewer privacy problems at much less cost.
Furthermore, legislators in multiple states are aware of it and have
said they'd be willing to write laws that use it.
Also, are you aware of the number of global opt-out systems that have
been proposed and implemented, from the DMA's eMPS and Rodney Joffe's
SafeEPS down to various spammer fronts? SafeEPS and eMPS were both
implemented by technically sophisticated and well-funded entities, yet
they both failed to stop any noticible amount of spam.
Since every opt-out plan to date has failed, I'm surprised that nobody
seems to be analyzing why that happened, and it's not because they
didn't include the magic IETF seal of approval. Unless you identify
and solve the problems that have killed them all, why would you expect
another similar plan to work any better?
