Colleagues and Friends:

 

Please join us, in either New York City, Washington, DC, or by phone, on Tuesday, May 12 at  10:00 a.m. Eastern Time, for an important video conference to discuss organizing a collective response to FDA's enforcement initiative on the use of sponsored links in prescription drug advertising, and, more generally, on FDA's overall approach to regulating the internet as a distinct medium of communication.   Meeting locations and other details are attached. 

 

The meeting is open to representatives from pharmaceutical companies, advertising agencies, internet media companies, trade associations and their individual member companies, and others who have a legitimate interest in the evolution of a responsible FDA approach to internet communication.  Attendees at the meeting will be asked to identify themselves, their affiliation, and their general interest in the matter.

 

Please RSVP to Arnie Friede by e-mail (afriede@mwe.com) or phone ((202)756-8189).   You may share this invitation but we ask that all prospective attendees RSVP so that we may have a reliable list of participants.   We look forward to seeing you on May 12 at 10:00 A.M. Eastern Time in either New York or Washington, DC.

 

For more information, please contact either Arnie Friede or Bob Nicholas.
