Our assocation supports the Commission's efforts to control fraudulent, misleading and abusive unsolicited email, the establishment of a DNE-mail registry will penalize a local trade association. However, we urge you to consider whether the disputable benefits of a Do-Not-Email Registry and the potential risk to privacy of a central depository of legitimate e-mail addresses outweigh the onerous and costly compliance burdens on trade associations. Thank you for your time and consideration of this matter.
