Letter to TRUSTe- TRUSTe Will Answer Clarion Call!

Sep 28, 2006

Recently I sent an e-mail to the TRUSTe representative.
I am pleased to say Carolyn was gracious in accepting the challenge. Stay tuned.

A partial excerpt below *with a mispell or two corrected on my end*:


…
Consider this a formal notice of my intent to publish list of questions -you may, of course, decline to answer any question, as some you may not be able to disclose. I have prepared the list of questions from factual information as I know it and I going to go live with the list tomorrow evening, perhaps sooner, but it would be nice, and only courteous, to message you beforehand that you agree or decline the request.

I will interpret a non-response as just that and note that with this e-mail in an entry. If you need a day to prepare answers that is fine, I will note that in my “TRUSTe accepts” post, but will still post question as promised.

Since TRUSTe values open dialogue, per your blog, to participate “in the conversation” as “markets are conversations” to quote the Clue Train- ….

I look forward to your reply.

This e-mail is not confidential.
