[arin-ppml] ARIN IPs and Spammers?

[Owen DeLong]

In a word, no.

ARIN should not be the application police and should not be making value judgments about what addresses are used for.

While I support industry efforts to eliminate SPAM and support ARIN taking action against inefficient utilization of address space (such as snowshoe spamming), I do not think that we want to go down the very slippery slope of appointing ARIN arbiter of what is good and bad usage of internet addresses.
