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
