I've seen a message on another list from Spamhaus saying that should 
ICANN suspend their .org domain they will be able to quickly put up the 
SBL+XBL using their .org.uk domain instead.

As an aside -- for those of us with servers in the UK who would like to 
help out in this case can do the following (this was written by Steve 
Linford of Spamhaus on another list):

The best help would be to dig in your spam archive for samples of spam 
with the text string "Box 1132" and "60035". If any of these were sent 
to users in the UK (many were but we need hard copies) then we have a 
much stronger position.

Kind regards,
Steve.
