Re: [Tccc] Researcher position at (business) - posting

I think for both CFPs and job offerings, mailing lists are not the best vehicle since this is essentially a broadcast mechanism while the interest receiver group is very small for any particular item. Thus, I think that a database or Wiki is likely to be more appropriate.

In terms of rules, it appears that, so far, the consensus seems to be toward clarifying or amending the rules, which would seem to be a charge to the TCCC leadership to represent that. I frankly would prefer that in such cases the leadership follows the IETF WG chair model, namely distinguishing whether they are wearing the chair hat or just making a contribution to the discussion as an individual.

For what it's worth, I also consider the CFPs a waste of human bandwidth, and would prefer an online (web) resource for items of interest to the community, including CFPs, books and jobs, desirable. TCCC has a webmaster who might be tasked with investigating this in more detail.
