Progress: This was the third meeting of the revived RUN WG. The group met in a short (one hour) time slot. We accomplished all of the goals set forth in the agenda for the meeting; specifically, we reviewed draft-ietf-run-spew-01.txt and the Responsible Advertising draft.

AOB/wrap-up (5 minutes)

The "Don't Spew" I-D went received mostly editorial and minor modifications. There was additional discussion over the issue of "spam."
