The ICCP Committee, in consultation with the Committee on Consumer Policy, endorsed in April 2004 a proposal for the creation of a horizontal ad hoc Joint ICCP-CCP Task Force on Spam to assist in the further conduct and co-ordination of the work on spam and obtain a more rapid consensus on a policy framework to tackle spam issues. The creation of the Task Force on Spam, as a joint subsidiary body of these Committees, was approved by the OECD Council.
