s/UBE/SPAM/
-----
UBE shall mean 

  - messages, regardless of content, sent in multiple similar or 
    identical copies to recipients who did not request to receive 
    such messages from their sender.    

In deciding whether a transmission shall be deemed UBE, common sense 
shall be applied encompassing the totality of facts knowable about the
transmission including subject line, actual content, source of 
addresses, falsification of message parts, use of promiscuous relays 
or proxies or other abusable resources, obfuscation of return path or
true identity of sender, or history of sender's previous abuse as 
recorded in any accessible database.

Ok, suppose we define spam as above.  Now what?  Is there a mechanism
to traceback ARIN resources currently in use by the originator?  (As well
as a clear mechanism to traceback the sender himself!) And then, suppose
we have identified that entity and its ARIN resources but that entity
is not a direct member of ARIN.  What action do you
propose be taken?
