SAN FRANCISCO, CA - September 15, 2003 - The Institute for Spam and Internet Public Policy ("ISIPP") announced today that Email Deliverability Summit II will be held on Tuesday, September 16th, at the Clarion Hotel near San Francisco Airport.

"The response from the email sending and email receiving communities has been fantastic," said Anne P. Mitchell, Esq., co-Chair of Summit II, and President and CEO of ISIPP, one of the sponsors of the Summit. "We have executive level decision-makers from every single major national ISP, except one, and also from several others, both national and international, as well as from most of the major spam filtering companies."

"Nearly all of the major permission-based email service providers are attending," added Ian Oxman, Vice President of Email Consulting for RappDigital Innovyx, and co-Chair of Summit II. "The response has been overwhelming; everybody wants to be part of creating a solution to ensure that legitimate, wanted email gets delivered, while spam does not."

As with Summit I, Summit II is by invitation only, and will be attended by 40 CEOs or other executive decision-makers from the email sending and receiving industries. The agenda includes recommendations regarding the processes of both sending and receiving legitimate email, and the formation of a formal cross-industry group addressing the issues of deliverability of legitimate email.

"The level of cooperation has been very encouraging; the recommendations alone will have a major impact in easing the strain spam has placed on delivering legitimate email," said Kevin George, Vice President of Operations for Silverpop, and one of the presenters at the Summit.
