Anti-spam group Mail Abuse Prevention System LLC,(MAPS) Redwood City, CA, has appointed Dave Rand as its executive director.
Rand, the founder of AboveNet Communications, now a subsidiary of Metromedia Fiber Network Inc., (MFN) is the former executive vice President of MFN, and one of MAPS’ two founders.
Having recently retired from his position with MFN, Rand said that he will now devote himself full-time to MAPS.
In his new position, Rand will provide a leadership role to the ongoing efforts of MAPS that his expertise and knowledge helped create.
Our progress in reining in and working to eliminate spam demonstrates our success,” Rand said in a statement. “However, as the Internet continues its exponential growth we need to redouble our efforts to educate and encourage Internet service providers to enforce strong terms and conditions prohibiting their customers from engaging in abusive email practices.”
