Comments:
I believe both of these changes are a bad idea. First, if the Do Not Call list rules are going to be changed, they should be tightened. It would be much more appropriate to limit calls to consumers with whom the seller on whose behalf the calls are made has an established business relationship to calls about the existing business relationship between the consumer and the seller. Marketing new sales should be limited by the Do Not Call list. Second, switching the statistical basis for call sampling to monthly would allow for significant periods of performance well below the required standard. It's a bad idea. Scott Kitterman Bowie, MD
