Excerpted from the press release
http://www.networkadvertising.org/espc/092903lumos.asp

	Details of Project Lumos technical architecture were unveiled today in
	a white paper entitled "Project Lumos: A Solutions Blueprint for
	Solving the Spam Problem by Establishing Volume Email Sender
	Accountability." The white paper illustrates how the registry can
	easily be implemented in conjunction with current spam fighting
	technology. The white paper also provides a blueprint for easy
	implementation of Project Lumos by ISPs. Project Lumos will allow ISPs,
	without significant infrastructure changes, to quickly and
	inexpensively reject mail connections from spammers without needing to
	accept, store and analyze the fraudulent mail. This should dramatically
	reduce the amount of resources required to handle spam.

	ESPC is encouraging reviews, recommendations, and comments from the
	industry. For information and to download the white paper, visit

	About NAI's Email Service Provider Coalition:  The Email Service
	Provider Coalition (ESPC) was formed in November 2002 by the Network
	Advertising Initiative (NAI) to fight spam while protecting the
	delivery of legitimate email. The ESPC is comprised of 37 members
	including aQuantive, Blue Dolphin, Digital Impact, DoubleClick,
	Experian, IMN, and Roving Software. The ESPC members have recognized
	the need for strong spam solutions that ensure the delivery of
	legitimate email. To this end, the ESPC has created several crucial
	sub-committees, including legislative and technical committees, which
	have been very active in the war against spam. Our flagship initiative,
	Project Lumos, is an industry proposal for a registry-based solution to
	the spam problem.
