John,
And others,
I will take this survey to the powers-that-be and see if RIM will fill
this out. However, as one might expect from government bureaucrats this
thing is:
1) Pretty big
2) Invasive (Management might balk at filling out any of this because
some of the questions are things the company would never want to tell.
For example, which countries do we sell the most product in - yeh,
right, like they are going to share that info!)
3) The survey is slanted - it asks how many jobs were lost by RoHS
implementation and how many gained, but it does not ask how many OTHER
jobs were not created because resources were sucked up by this mess (my
personal colors are showing. :) )
It will be interesting.
I doubt this will do more than give employment to one of more summer
students working for ECOLAS, but, hey, I personally think any whine we
make it worth it, if for no other reason than principle.
Regards,
Bev

P.S. Excellent letter, Gordon. I will also pass that along to my bosses.

Subject: [TN] Notes on Official Request for Your Input Regarding the
Impact of RoHS/WEEE Directives on Electronics Industry
The IPC, as some folks on these links are aware are enabling through
their
web site getting data to the EU consultants studying at the impacts of
RoHS
on the global electronics industry (Including costs). The questionnaires
can
be obtained by going straight to the link on the IPC web site
http://leadfree.ipc.org/RoHS_WEEE_Qtn.htm - I have also linked it from
the
home page of http://www.RoHSUSA.com <http://www.rohsusa.com/> web site.
I would suggest that anyone on these links with a high hit rate site
also
link to that set of questionnaires so that the EU teams get the maximum
response to this call for data.
Thanks to the IPC.
Kind regards
John Burke
