 For people who read -07, the Diff1 button at the top of the page will
 produce a redlined diff against -07 and Diff2 will produce side by
 side diffs.

 The differences are minor and are intended to be editorial. Let us
 know if we screwed something up.

John,

In general, this is a well written document, although some of the guidance reduces the role played by ISPs. In section 2.2.3, there is too much emphasis on the use of temporary listings, since this will expose trap locations and eventually make detection less effectual for anyone other than ISPs monitoring for abuse remediation. A topic fully overlooked by the draft. This becomes a greater concern when dealing with a future where bad actors are able to employ unique IP addresses for every message ever sent.

As indicated in a prior message, the reference for RFC3330 should have been updated to RFC5735.

It is also technically and conceptually incorrect to place prohibitions of (third-party) donations within Section 2.2.5 Conflict of Interest. This prohibition should be moved to a different section. What is meant by donations should have been better defined, since almost any requirement imposed by a listing service that incurs an additional cost could be incorrectly included within this category. Lists must be allowed to be flexible, since many have been driven out-of-business when dealing with bot-net related attacks.
