[WSIS CS-Plenary] Spam as an issue

Just a small observation from the above discussion: those who would
put spam on the list of priorities have very different ideas of its
purpose. One tendency is „to protect the world from spam" (because of
the costs, etc.), the other tendency is „to protect the world from
protection from spam" (to ensure that no legitimate mail is filtered,
etc.).

I am not quite sure that spam should be included at all but if yes,
then in the second alternative (at least, for raising awareness and
the like). The first one is really not much different from other
issues that are to be solved at the local level (starting from legal
definition of spam and so on).
