Re: CAN-SPAM Act Rulemaking, Project No. R411008 To the Commissioners, I appreciate your efforts to curb the problem of unsolicited bulk email. However, I am concerned about the proposed requirement for merchants to maintain suppression lists. As a lawyer who relies on email to communicate with past and current clients - I feel that a suppression list limitation will chill and interfere with my ability to communicate with clients. Requirement of the use of suppression lists will seriously damage many of the legitimate publications available on the net. CAN-SPAM is not designed to stop marketing activities of legitimate businesspeople who have permission to communicate with customers and clients by email. There's also the potential for significant harm to consumers, because of the problem of properly knowing their intent when they unsubscribe from a list. On top of that, these suppression lists could easily fall into the hands of spammers, leading to more spam instead of less. I feel strongly that this potential ruling will create more problems than it solves. I therefure urge you in the strongest possible terms to withdraw its implementation in light of these problems, Respectfully, Jonathan Ginsberg Atlanta, GA *REDACTED PERSONAL INFORMATION*
