Which is why there is a desperate need to define what exactly is Internet Abuse, in terms of this WG. Abuse happens all the time, in many forms and "we all know it when we see it" As, people abuse shoes, their cars, each other. Abuse is too a wide ranging term and many ISP have varying Abuse policies all based loosely on their own corporate understanding of what constitutes "abuse" I will give one perfect and practical example: TWITTER.com - does not consider their own behavior of sending multiple unsolicited emails to incorrect or wrong email addresses, as Internet abuse. So, after my complaining in public, maybe Twitter may (or may not) change their behavior, but that is one HUGE example and the examples are millions. Is it "Internet Abuse" when me and Marilson may or may not abuse each other in email communications? Yes, it is abuse - No, it is not Internet Abuse. - Much confusion about what is Internet abuse and what it is not. So, again, instead of not contributing, please contribute to this discussion and let us define Internet Abuse... This is what there is thus far, please ADD, Discuss, Change, Improve: ============ Internet Abuse ============ Understanding what constitutes Internet Abuse is not an easy undertaking as the topic is sometimes very technical. The Internet consists of resources and the understanding of Internet abuse relates to also understanding the use and interaction between these resources. Examples of Internet resources include also processes, protocols, credentials as well as other types of resources. More practical examples could be Internet Protocol numbers, Domain names or even Email addresses. This technical definition of Internet abuse does not include identifying the authority for any specific resource as it is not intended to define any rights to resources but simply to define what technically constitutes Internet abuse as it relates to all Internet resources. ====================== Definition of Internet abuse ====================== "The non sanctioned use of a resource to infringe upon the usage rights of another resource" -------------------------------------------------------- Terminology used in the above definition -------------------------------------------------------- (1) Resource Any Internet Resource (2) Use and Usage Any direct or indirect action involving a resource (3) Rights The correct assignment or allocation of a resource by the authoritative holder of such a resource which results in the entitlement or reasonable expectation to use, or ability to use, such an allocated or assigned resource (4) Infringe An action, event or situation which limits, reduces, undermines or encroaches upon the fair use of a resource (5) Sanctioned Infringement upon the use of a resource by the assignor or administrative holder of rights to a resource
