ASOP (Alliance for Safe Online Pharmacies) is often seen as taking a rather confrontational stance towards domain registrars, registries and hosting providers. However both ASOP and others, including LegitScript, often cite the assistance they’ve received from internet industry players in their work.
This year ASOP has decided to take this a step further by creating a special award to recognise the contribution made by internet industry players to patient safety.
Nominations are open now and will close on July 15th.
They plan to present the award during ICANN 57, which is currently scheduled to take place in San Juan, Puerto Rico in November.
Here’s the full announcement:
The Alliance for Safe Online Pharmacies Global (ASOP Global) is proud to announce a new award to celebrate the good work of companies and individuals in the Internet ecosystem who have made significant strides in protecting patient safety online.
