RE: [gnso-acc-sgb] Additional Proposal

["Margie Milam" <Margie.Milam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We can certainly come up with parameters to identify who is a legitimate
service provider for the context of the access -- but the fact remains
that service providers provide an important function in the anti-fraud,
brand protection arena that merits discussion and access.  The bulk
access agreement can address abuse and termination rights by those that
don't comply with the terms of the agreement.

This is just broad enough to include most everyone. I didn't read it any

further than "self certify that they offer anti-fraud services".

Tucows.com, our shareware download service, provides anti-fraud software

for download - would this allow us to legitimately self-certify?

We could just make this easier on everyone and instead give everyone 
unfettered access to all of our sensitive customer data as long as they 
self-certify that they won't do bad things with the data.

I think this proposal needs some further refinement before it merits 
serious consideration.
