CAUCE North America Debuts - New anti-spam advocacy group combines CAUCE Canada and CAUCE US

Montreal and Los Angeles, June 06, 2007 -- Neil Schwartzman, chair of CAUCE Canada, and Scott Hazen Mueller, chair of CAUCE U.S., today announced the formation and launch of CAUCE North America to build upon the work of their previously separate organizations.

CAUCE North America is now the premiere anti-spam advocacy group, representing the interests of the millions of Internet users in North America. The combined group will work towards equitable solutions for the original threat posed by spam since the 20th century, and Spam 2.0, the 21st-century blended threat posed by the merging of spam, viruses, phishing and malware.

"When we launched the original CAUCE, back in 1997," said Scott Hazen Mueller, founder of CAUCE U.S. and now President of CAUCE North America, "spam was an isolated problem and it was seen by many as unimportant. Now, spam is part of a multi-pronged assault by various criminal organizations attacking the very basis of trust on the Internet. If this threat is not met soon, users will continue to migrate away from the Internet for their commercial needs."
