where a new type of international<BR>> instrument<BR>> is needed, similar
to what Directives are in the<BR>> European<BR>> Union :<BR>><BR>> a
formal agreement on objectives, measures/methods<BR>> to adopt<BR>> by the
respective stakeholders, the responsibility<BR>> to do it<BR>> resting on
each individual (sovereign ?) entity,<BR>> with a<BR>> follow-up mechanism
to verify later on that the<BR>> Directive has<BR>> been "transposed in
the internal legal order".<BR>><BR>> It seems anyway that spam is rising
to the level of<BR>> recognized global nuisance, and could be a very
good<BR>> test<BR>> case for defining new methods to address such<BR>>
issues.<BR>><BR>> 2cents, etc...<BR>><BR>> Bertrand<BR>><BR>>
