More Internet real estate is devoted to Advertising Option icon than anything...

The agenda (link below) for the Digital Advertising Alliance¡¯s First Summit is final (June 5 in Washington, DC), and we hope you are able to attend.? We are very pleased to announce that Federal Trade Commissioner Maureen Ohlhausen will speak during a luncheon keynote address, providing a perspective on interest-based advertising and Internet innovations in our economy.

Commissioner Ohlhausen recently expressed concern publicly that potential regulation of the Internet could have negative, unintended effects, particularly small online ad companies. We believe such points of view underscore the vital importance of self-regulation for digital interest-based advertising, including self-regulation expansion, enforcement and effectiveness.

This is the scope of our First Summit.? ?

The DAA Summit will feature panels that tackle the adaptation of self-regulation to the mobile environment; the consumer and brand benefits for companies participating in the DAA¡¯s ubiquitous Advertising Option ¡±AdChoices¡° icon program; the economic importance of relevant advertising to today¡¯s Internet ecosystem, and small publishers in particular; the DAA¡¯s growing compliance and enforcement efforts; and the expansion of the DAA program internationally, where we will be hosting marketers from Canada, and potentially Europe. ?

...

Dialogue and information sharing make for a more informed marketplace.

That¡¯s why we¡¯re excited to welcome Digital Advertising Alliance participants and guests to our First Summit, slated for June 5 (8:30 a.m. ¨C 4 p.m. EDT) at the Venable, LLP Offices in Washington, DC.? The event is sponsored by TRUSTe.

We are excited in having this summit for several reasons.

First, while the momentum built by three years of self-regulation success continues to grow, our hard-earned results cannot be taken for granted. The dynamics of the marketplace are continually evolving, and so is the appetite of some policymakers in government to regulate and restrict interest-based advertising. By sharing information on our current program success and the various challenges our business still yet faces, we can better educate ourselves and coordinate further action. Our goal remains to facilitate continued innovation in the ad-funded Internet community.

Second, there are simply a lot of activities DAA is involved in that require knowledge sharing among our stakeholders. For example, our Principles guidance for mobile platforms is continues to move forward, our global expansion is continuing, and ¨C importantly ¨C there will be important perspectives shared directly from policymakers that will enable concerted exchange.? Enforcement also will be a program highlight ¨C with...
