Hi, all, I'm still here, awaiting discussion of other members issues. I've proposed many topics, and the discussion was either light to non-existant on all...
... Jim...I was a vocal voice on that forum. To be honest, it's what caused me to reup my membership after 15 years..I believe that you cannot be critical of...
... I share John's opinion: Reform STC was very important for starting to get things changed. I think it made lots of members aware that there needed to be...
Hi John, Sweeping up horseshit can be good for the garden, but does "New STC " have a plan, what corporate crap-talkers call "a road map", for a future that...
Ian Wright wondered: <<Sweeping up horseshit can be good for the garden, but does "New STC " have a plan, what corporate crap-talkers call "a road map", for a...
... Ian...your priorities and mine for STC are different. Obviously, you being from the UK, your highest priority is globalization. To be honest, mine isn't....
... Geoff...not really. I've got too much on my plate now. My priority is what affects me and my membership more than other stuff. Globalization probably does,...
Hi all, Since this list may be picking up - I'd like to invite you all to the next Techshoret Communicators Conference in Jerusalem on February 28, 2008. It ...
... Insularity really isn't the way forward, unless perhaps the STC becomes the American Society for Technical Communication or the Society for American...
What is ISTC? Where is their web page? OK! Thanks! Bruce Giddens 949 495 1276 h 949 842 8649 c ... From: Ian Wright To: reformstc@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
... Hi Bruce, It's the Institute of Scientific and Technical Communicators. The Web site is www.istc.org.uk. Worth a look. The annual membership fees are...
... I explained my focus, not STC's. I happen to know that they are putting a great deal of effort into globalization. John Posada Senior Technical Writer ...
Hi Ian, I believe the STC is already the American Society for Technical Communications, but has some people who live outside the United States. That was one of...
Hi Paula, Yes, I remember your comments of yore. I found them disappointing, because they agreed so closely with my own opinions... and I wanted to be wrong....
... Dear Ian: I had always wondered why it was that we'd never done co-marketing or joint ventures with other organizations, even US ones, when the mutual...
... I think the effects of American isolationism have always been negative in any venue and this is no exception. Being more global is an essential part of...
... That's something that I would wholeheartedly support. I believe that people like Paula, in other technical communicator organizations, would welcome it,...
(Seems like this issue is verboten on another "list" that I used to be on, so I figured I'd start up a discussion here!) At any rate, looks like there are a...
Hi, Sue! Yes, I renewed, but damn if I know why, now. Some of my issues are with The Organization, but mainly I'm frustrated with our local membership, whose...
Forums? Oh yeah, just about forgot about those. I had my login set up on my work machine from my last job. Haven't got a clue what it was, and since I got laid...
I don't wanna talk you in or out of it, but I wanna know the why's if you do or don't. Me? I was thinking about it, since I'd thought that STC was showing...
Well, Sue, I'm one of those local leaders who have so poorly impressed. Our program meetings, offered for free online, include a mix of vendor-driven as well...
Hi, Sue! Hi, Folks! My sympathies and understanding to Sue Gallagher and Don White. There's a lot going on, so this may get a little garbled. In Sacramento,...
No, I'm not renewing. After more than 20 years or so in the STC, I just can't see any value to the organization. I DO see value in the local group (Vermont...
Why not refund the money to the members that put the money there? Why should the $10,000 go "back" to National? And no, I'm not renewing this year either. ...
I'm not sure you could work out the logistics of this, to refund to the members. I mean, some of the 10K had to come from 2007, but some likely came from 2006,...
