April 25, 2005 -- The US Postal Service's new 'clarification' of the rule governing the use of personal information in Nonprofit Standard mail goes into effect June 1, 2005. Updating members in an e-mail on Friday, DMA Nonprofit Federation (DMANF) Executive Director Senny Boone said, The DMANF and others had another meeting on April 22 with USPS officials in Washington to discuss resolving the outstanding issues such as segmentation, use of Congressional district information, use of soft asks in acknowledgments, and other key matters for our members.

'I am sorry to report that we are not getting resolution. In fact, we are highly concerned that there is a lack of clarity regarding items that have already been discussed previously in New York, leaving us with a great deal of uncertainty and risk.'

She added that DMANF and other groups are taking additional steps to raise the issues one more time at the top levels at the USPS.

'If we cannot get resolution, we will be asking you to contact your members of Congress as soon as possible.'
