[Chapter-delegates] ISOC joins the Stop Spam Alliance

[Terry Monroe]

Chapter Delegates-

In Anne's absence, I wanted to share an important development that was
announced last week. 

ISOC has become an Associate Partner in the StopSpam Alliance.
http://www.isoc.org/pubpolpillar/headlines/070608.shtml 

The StopSpam Alliance is an international multi-stakeholder cooperative
effort to coordinate international action against spam and related threats
to the Internet more effectively by sharing information and resources among
participating entities.

The StopSpam Alliance is an initiative in line with the WSIS Tunis Agenda,
asking members to deal effectively with the significant and growing problem
posed by spam. This support includes development of multilateral frameworks
for regional and international cooperation, and calls upon all stakeholders
to adopt a multi-pronged approach to counter spam, which should include:
consumer and business education, legislation, law-enforcement, best
practices; and international cooperation.
