I wonder if icann may fill the void left vacant by spamhaus, and fight spammers directly.

I would be much happier if a more reliable entity was handling the spam control. spamhaus are a bunch of goofs who pull the trigger at the mere mention of the word spam. Years ago I had a battle with them because they had some IPs (for fuck sake) listed that had previously been used by a spammer. It took forever to prove to them that I wasn't a spammer and I had just been given the block of IPs by AT&T. I don't think some private mom and pop organization should have that much power.
