It is a FAQ, not an advocacy portal.
Simply link to the MAAWG best practices document - there's several available for providers, end users etc.
Linking to MAAWG could also be viewed as a form of advocacy, and the interests of RIPE may not be entirely aligned with those of MAAWG. As an example, Yahoo is a MAAWG member at the highest level of influence ('Sponsor', which includes a seat on the MAAWG Board of Directors), but decade after decade, Yahoo inflicts enormous amounts of spam on the RIPE community and other Internet users. Other MAAWG members with reputations for spam and/or spam support include Amazon and Constant Contact. I would prefer for RIPE to produce its own information on spam and other forms of abuse of the network, as needed. -- Thor Kottelin http://www.anta.net/
