2 Issue Statement for Workgroup 116  Issue statement dated April 16, 2007  Mail is an important communication tool for businesses ●Cost effective way to promote goods and services  The Value of mail is lost when the mail does not arrive, arrives late (“stale”), or is delivered to the wrong recipient ●Inaccurate/Inadequate address information ●Individuals have moved or are deceased ●Message is unwanted and/or offensive
