Re: CAN-SPAM Act Rulemaking, Project No. R411008To the Commissioners,I'm glad you are making efforts to solve the problem ofunsolicited email. What about pop ups that cant be stoped? Some days I take 1 or 2 hours to get to what's really important in my mail. However, I am concerned aboutthe proposed requirement for merchants to maintainsuppression lists.It is a very impractical idea due to the many problems and costs associated. I feel there must be a better solution and I ask you toconsider this matter most carefully.Requirement of the use of suppression lists willseriously damage many of the legitimate publicationsavailable on the net. My specific concern is for harm topublishers who require permission from the consumerprior to adding them to any list.They're not who CAN-SPAM was designed to put out ofbusiness, but this requirement will very likely havethat effect. On top of that, these suppression lists could easily fall intothe hands of spammers, leading to more spam instead ofless.I am surprised at the potential problems thisruling could involve, and urge you in the strongestpossible terms to reconsider its implementation, and look for a better solution.Respectfully,Monica AlsinaSantiago ?
