It might be useful for NANOG to discuss what involvement NANOG and ISPs
ought to have with these schemes.

o       Should, for example, NANOG agree that ISPs ought not provide
        secondary name service for this sort of activity?

o       Should NANOG agree that some sorts of domain name speculation are
        good grounds to terminate a customer?

o       Should NANOG decide that some other organization ought to
        address these issues?  (What ever happen to FARNET?)

        -       ISOC?
        -       IETF?
        -       The courts?
        -       The Internic?

o       Should NANOG stick to purely technical issues?
