Colleagues, I know this is not necessarily of interest to all ALS or unafilliated members in the North American Region, as it is jurisdictionally specific. However, jurisdictional authorities do have public interest agendas. Here is an excerpt from the FTC announcement: The staff of the Federal Trade Commission will extend the public comment period for "Dot Com Disclosures: Information About Online Advertising" -- the business education publication discusses how federal advertising law applies to advertising and sales on the Internet. At the request of a stakeholder, the comment deadline has now been extended for 30 days until August 10, 2011. The original (2002) version of "Dot Com Disclosures: Information About Online Advertising" is available at this link (83 pp, .pdf): http://business.ftc.gov/documents/bus41-dot-com-disclosures-information-abou... The May, 2011 call for updates is available at this link: http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2011/05/dotcom.shtm The portion of the public interest the FTC is charged with, within a political jurisdiction is summarized in this statement: "The Federal Trade Commission works for consumers to prevent fraudulent, deceptive, and unfair business practices and to provide information to help spot, stop, and avoid them."
