The ESPC proposal gives you secure identity, a performance rating, and

confirmed opt in and person to person mail, you can do that. The
performance rating penalizes senders and their agents for lying.
There's a core assertion here which isn't being faced:
That a significant number of people actually actively want to receive
mail from the companies listed as ESPC members.
I don't believe that to be true.
I have my doubts. I suspect that the entire population of this list out
to the second decimal place, plus no less than five nines of the basic
'net using population if presented with the following question:
If you could click one button and not have any marketing emails from
this company every enter your mailbox, would you click it?
would answer, "YES!"
