Melinda,

I do not agree with Dave.

This TechNet is already becoming too much to sort through,
and I would prefer a separate bulletin board or even
website to go to for job postings.

     Hello Melinda-
     
     Why does the IPC Board of Directors feel that job postings on the 
     TechNet are not appropriate? I think that they are valuable to the 
     TechNet community. They don't take very long to scan, can be passed on 
     to others within a company, and if a set of rules were put together 
     could be a simple "regulated" posting. Maybe I'm the odd person out 
     but I don't really want another bulletin board to have to scan daily.

Dear TechNet participants,
     
For nearly two years, IPC's TechNet e-mail forum has been a valuable tool 
for people in the electronic interconnection industry. It has been a 
place to go for help from experts who have shared freely. Many of you 
have told us how much you appreciate IPC's TechNet.
     
The issue of job postings on TechNet has come up several times over the 
past two years and has been a source of controversy. There have not been 
very many, but the IPC Board of Directors has been monitoring the 
situation and believes that TechNet is not the appropriate place for job 
listings; that TechNet should be reserved for the exchange of technical 
information.
     
Staff have been directed to work on developing an alternative to TechNet 
for job listings to satisfy a need identified by member companies and 
hopes to present a proposal to the IPC Board of Directors at their 
December meeting. It is likely that the Board will establish a policy for 
TechNet use that discourages job postings on TechNet, just as we 
discourage commercialism on TechNet.
     
If you have any suggestions on how we might assist member companies with 
job searches outside of TechNet (i.e., a JobsNet) please reply directly 
to me and not to the entire TechNet list. Your input will be used and 
appreciated. In the meantime, we request that everyone continue to enjoy 
the tremendous benefits of the IPC TechNet e-mail forum and the technical 
networking it provides and please do not use TechNet for job postings.
     
By the way, did you know that you are now one of over 1,100 technologists 
throughout the world participating on the IPC TechNet e-mail forum? 
Pretty amazing!
     
Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
     
Regards,
     
Melinda Robinson
