I agree that it's a more appropriate list. Yet I do wonder if the discussion (at least in part), and particularly the original thread before the various sub-threads on SC and blacklisting started is not appropriate for nanog.
In particular, I feel issues with proxies, trojans, etc and how they are dealt with between networks, and their foreseeable threat to the infrastructure itself is relevant to the following the the charter:
"# Discuss specific implementation issues which require cooperation and coordination among network service providers to ensure the stability of overall service to the network users.
# Serve as a focal point for other common activities of the participants.
# Promote and coordinate interconnection of networks within North America and to other continents."

Feel free to move the discussion over to a seperate list,
I've had an inet-ops list for some time on my system and the
topic of proxies that are available for abuse are important
for the operator community as a whole to deal with as they
can be used for numerous bad things.
