FWIW, there has been no dialogue on this issue as yet since it has not been
raised as a concern. I can raise it at the next meeting, which will be in
December. Any member on this list is welcome to similarly raise it as well - the
BoG meeting is supposed to be open.
However, I'd like to ask anyone who suggests this is reasonable to also consider
what the impact of opening up this list to commercial posts would be - both on
this list, and on the IEEE as a whole. I don't know the details of the previous
decision, but consider, e.g., what you would trade for such posts:
- possibly increased dues
- possibly increased conference fees
- possibly increased list traffic
This is a trade-off. I'm not arguing in favor of the current decision; I'm just
pointing out what the impact of a change *might* be. None of these decisions -
lowering conference costs, allowing commercial posts - come without impact.

We are currently bound by IEEE ComSoc policy *until* that policy is changed.
