For all the years I've been on this forum, ALL the other labs have honored the listserver guidelines. As a reminder: MESSAGE CONTENT GUIDELINES:
1. Correspondence should be limited to information or queries relating to telecom regulations or standards only. Shared information should not be confidential or in any way proprietary. Please don't use the NEBS for simple correspondence - Private correspondence should be addressed directly, unless it has broad appeal or interest. 2. Blatant or overt advertising of goods or services is not permitted. The NEBS list server is provided as a service by Jon Curtis, whose policies prohibit anything that might be construed as conflict of interest. Exceptions: a) Short, non-promotional "trailers" or signature lines for the sole purpose of identifying the sender and the sender's organization. b) Answers to queries about goods or services, where the intent of the answer is to inform, but not promote. (When in doubt, send the questioner a private message.) c) This guideline is specific to the use of the NEBS list server, and in no way inhibits individuals from contacting NEBS members privately and independently. 3. Posting of telecom job openings is OK so long as they are short (i.e., 1 paragraph), non-commercial (no agencies or headhunters - no fees involved), infrequent (about one out of every 10 messages or less), and contain an off-NEBS contact name and phone number or e-mail address. Same goes for jobs-wanted (if you can fit your resume into one paragraph!). 4. Using key words in the title or subject line will assist members who archive the message traffic and may wish to search it later. Suggested keywords include: ANALOG, DIGITAL, or a country name (where the information is country-specific). 5. Queries or requests for information should be focused and brief. Respondents should be careful about endorsements - When in doubt, don't. Randy Ivans Global Program Manager -Telecommunications Underwriters Laboratories Inc. 1285 Walt Whitman Rd.
