Re: [dssa] Interesting article -- probably out of scope for us, but FYI

I tend to agree with Jim. 

Clearly, the sort of typosquatting
mentioned in the Ars Tecnica is not something the ICANN community can do

We may want to mention in the final report a
non-exhaustive list of what behaviours we considered being out of scope.
At least, that would acknowledge that we looked at them.
