    <h1>W3C Spam Policy</h1>
  </div>


  <h2>Posting of Unsolicited Bulk E-mail (UBE), or spam is strictly
  forbidden</h2>

  <p>UBE or SPAM, as defined here will mean: <em>The mass
  electronic distribution of unsolicited e-mail to individual
  e-mail accounts, aliases, or mailing lists and archives.</em></p>

  <p>Bulk distribution of unsolicited e-mail, or spam, is
  always unwelcome to the participants of a mailing list, <a href=
  "http://www.spamlaws.com/index.html">and possibly
  illegal</a>.</p>

  <p>As the fora hosted at W3C are focused primarily on technical,
  operational, or communications issues, any commercial, religious,
  political, or other off-topic e-mail is likely to be interpreted
  as spam.</p>

  <p><strong>Do not under any circumstance post spam to the W3C mailing
  lists.</strong></p>

  <p><strong>Violators of this restriction may be permanently
  unsubscribed from all lists and banned from participation in any
  W3C-hosted discussion forum. Their posts may be removed and stored
  for further actions</strong>.</p>

  <h2>W3C e-mail resources are strictly for use by W3C Activities,
  staff, and correspondents</h2>

  <p>W3C e-mail resources include staff e-mail addresses and
  aliases, mailing lists, archives, and mail servers. These
  resources are exclusively for use in the conduct of W3C-related
  activities, communications, and other reasonable use as agreed
  upon by the W3C staff. Misuse of these resources by anyone will
  constitute unauthorized usage and will be carefully recorded and
  examined.</p>

  <h2>Posting of spam using the e-mail address of a W3C staff
  member is fraud</h2>

  <p>W3C staff are agreed in spirit and practice that the use of
  their W3C e-mail addresses shall be limited to only those uses
  agreed upon by W3C staff and management. Any misuse of W3C
  addresses by non-W3C persons will be considered as fraud, and
  will be carefully recorded and examined.</p>

  <p><strong>Recorded abuses of the above described policy may result
  in legal action against violators of this policy.</strong></p>
