| "Spam has
grown partly because users, network administrators and responsible marketers
have fought it in different ways, even when their ultimate goals are the
same," said SpamCon Foundation
Executive Director Tom Geller. |

"Spam has grown
partly because users, network administrators and responsible marketers
have fought it in different ways, even when their ultimate goals are the
same," said SpamCon Foundation Executive Director Tom Geller. "We're
pleased to provide resources and communication venues for all these groups,
for the ultimate betterment of the Internet.''
Since June,
the Foundation has:
-
Produced a searchable

governmental bodies develop policies on email use.
Gained a 501(c)(3)
fiscal sponsor in Media Alliance (http://www.media-alliance.org).
The nonprofit
SpamCon Foundation protects email as a viable communication and commerce
