On it’s website, CAUCE says that it’s mission

as an all-volunteer consumer advocacy organization, has moved beyond its original mission of encouraging the creation and adoption of anti-spam laws to a broader stance of defending the interests of the average Internet user.

I don’t know much about the group, other than that one of it’s board directors, works for Return Path, a company I pass everyday while driving to work (Return Path is also listed as one of CAUCE’s corporate sponsors).

Through CAUCE’s board of directors, it also seems to be affiliated with the The Messaging Anti-Abuse Working Group, another anti-spamming organization.

All I can say is that I applaud their efforts and look forward to learning more about the issue.
