About

 

The StopSpamAlliance is a joint international effort initiated by APEC, the EU’s CNSA, ITU, the London Action Plan, OECD and the Seoul-Melbourne Anti-Spam group. Five associate partners have joined the StopSpamAlliance in 2007; the Asia-Pacific Telecommunity (APT), the Messaging Anti-Abuse Working Group (MAAWG), the Internet Society (ISOC), the Asia Pacific Coalition Against Unsolicited Commercial Email (APCAUCE), and CAUCE North America.

The objective of the StopSpamAlliance is to help co-ordinate international action against spam and related threats more effectively by gathering information and resources improving information sharing among participating entities.

In line with the WSIS Tunis Agenda - asking members to “deal effectively with the significant and growing problem posed by spam” and calling upon all stakeholders to adopt a multi-pronged approach to counter spam - the StopSpamAlliance pages link to initiatives in the field of anti-spam legislation and enforcement activities, consumer and business education, best practices, and international cooperation.

A “common agenda of events“, featuring the international events on spam and relating threats organized by the involved organizations is also available.
