The United Nations says it wants to help reduce your spam. I don't know enough about what happened at the UN meeting to have any specific reaction (I wasn't at this one). My general feeling is that improving government cooperation against spammers is likely to do more good than harm, and the UN is one potential vehicle for it. Then again, the number of spammers blocked or put out of business by any government anywhere seems tiny.
We don't have time to wait a decade or even five years for a international anti-spam treaty. Technical countermeasures including domainkeys/SPF are by far the quickest and most efficient ways of dealing with spam right now.
