In an effort to grow the space by providing further clarity to the affiliate space, the committee will then work to establish educational materials to define “affiliate marketing” as well as develop broader best practice guidelines for affiliate marketers in the United States. • The Committee will also monitor and discuss changes in the regulatory environment as it relates to mobile affiliate marketer networks.
