The great thing about standards is there are so many to choose from.

There is also ARF: Abuse Feedback Reporting Format from the Mutual 
Internet Practices Assocation.

Messaging Anti-Abuse Working Group has multiple documents.

Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions has standards 
on handling annoyance, fraud and harrasment.

In the US, the Federal Communications Commission, Network Reliability 
Interoperability Committee published a ton of "Best Practices"

And then there are various one-shot things produced by many groups such as
the OECD, ASTA, FTC, NASD, etc.
