General comment: Using "commercial" to mean advertising or promotional messages is confusing, because many general business activities are also called commercial (commerce). In that sense, many commercial messages are fine that are not advertising or promotions. B4. Commercial or T&R based on criteria in A.1. C1. Automated Opt-Out should work almost immediately. E.2.3 Forwarding marketing should only be covered if valuable inducements are provided to forwarders to forward messages. If it is genuine "I think Bob might want to see this", then shouldn't be an issue. E.2 4 - 8. There shouldn't be any restrictions on individuals forwarding to other individuals on an un-compensated basis, because more likely to hurt genuine interests and seems very complicated to implement. Different case if induced to forward for value received. I subscribe to several niche technical and specific subject e-mail list publications from small entities (business and institutional), and I hope that the controls implemented will not negatively impact their operations. In particular, potential "suppression list" requirements (as distinct from unsubscribe or opt-out) I've heard about sound unworkable without severe unintended consequences
