Nope. No policy because (the logic goes), registrars who really want
to spam will work around any policy.
While it is against the CIRA accreditation agreement to harvest the
.CA whois database, there are even ways around that. (Shell company
harvests database, sells it to "marketing partner" of Registrar X,
who sends out an email blast. Everything is arm's length and Registrar
plays stupid if they get called out onto the carpet over it ("Uh, we
bought a bad list")
The address we got hit at came out of the .com/net/org whois.
