More information on the ION Conference is available at

Following the ION Conference, we will hold a workshop called
"Combating Spam - Technical Options for Spam Mitigation and
Network Management". This tutorial will offer network operators
and ISPs an opportunity to hear from experts from within Africa
who manage spam mitigation processes within their networks. The
tutorial will also highlight bulk email best practices and network
management options. The session will provide a forum for
collaboration and exchange of spam mitigation techniques, best
practices, information, tools, techniques, and strategies that
address problems related to spam or unwanted forms of electronic
communication that may contain malware, botnets, and phishing within Africa.
I read the Internet Society submission to the Council Working Group
on International
Internet (
http://www.internetsociety.org/sites/default/files/ISOC%20ITU%20CWG%20Internet%20Submission.pdf
). According to that document:
"These can be located at http://www.ietf.org. The following are
some examples of
some standards track documents that could be useful: RFC 6430,
Feedback report
type value, RFC 5039 SIP and Spam, RFC 2505 Anti-spam
recommendations, RFC 2635
Guidelines for mass unsolicited mailings and postings. The IETF
is similarly
developing mail authentication technologies, like DKIM (RFC 6376,
RFC 5585, etc.),
SPF (RFC 4408) and DMARC ( www.dmarc.org ). There are also
numerous informational
documents on best practices to mange spam and email filters that
can be located
on the web site noted above."
In my opinion the examples of standard track documents in the above
is incorrect. I am copying this message to ietf(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org as there
are people on that mailing list with expertise about email.
Did the IAB provide any advice about this SPAM workshop?
