19. If your business does not provide

consumers the opportunity to receive

information electronically by sending an

electronic consent or consent

confirmation, explain why your

business does not provide this

opportunity. Discuss any

implementation problems.

Consumer Issues

20. As a consumer, how often do you

conduct electronic transactions in

which you request information

electronically or agree to receive legallyrequired information electronically?

21. Have you obtained information

electronically that was required by law

to be provided to you in writing? If so,

did the company or business provide an

opportunity for you to provide

electronic consent or confirm your

consent before sending an electronic

version of the information to you?

22. For an electronic transaction that

provided an opportunity for you to

submit electronic consent or consent

confirmation before you received the

information electronically, describe the

effect of the process on you as a

consumer. Were you made aware of any

legal requirements regarding your

options to receive the information in a

different manner, such as on paper? If

so, were you made aware of the legal

requirements before you consented or

confirmed your consent to receive the

information in an electronic format?

23. As a consumer, what are the

benefits, if any, of receiving electronic

versions of information required by law

to be provided in written form?

24. Explain whether the benefits of

receiving electronic versions of

information outweigh any burdens

associated with providing electronic

consent or consent confirmation prior to

receiving the information.

Technology Issues

25. Are software programs that enable

consumers to provide electronic consent

or consent confirmation to companies

readily available? Describe.

26. What technology or methods are

available that would enable companies

to verify that electronic consent or

consent confirmation is transmitted by

the specific persons entitled to receive

electronic information?

27. Please explain whether additional

technology is necessary to accomplish

either the electronic consumer consent

or company verification methods

discussed in Questions 25 and 26,

above.

28. Does the development of newer

technologies impact the implementation

of the consumer consent and consent

confirmation provisions of section

101(c)(1)(C)(ii) of the ESIGN Act? If so,

how.
