[Tccc] Researcher position at (business) - posting (and WikiCFP)

Dear Joe and TCCC members,

I just read through this thread of articles in the TCCC Mailing List Archives.

Thank you for all the comments, questions, and suggestions.

I will ask ComSoc President Byeong Gi Lee to include this as a topic for discussion

during the next ComSoc BoG meeting. We will look at the mailing list policies passed

by members of the ComSoc BoG in 2002 and determine if we need to make any changes

or clarifications.
