Thank you for subscribing to the all-iceimt@einet.net redistribution list. (Mack, resend your subscription as my earlier message indicated.)
ADMINISTRATION:
A number of you received error messages because the listserv program tries to process everything in the message including your electronic signature. Please just ignore those message.
We've concluded that our experiment with totally automated mail servers have shown that they can be confusing and could use further refinements that we aren't able to do now.
Therefore, I will act as moderator and administrator of the ICEIMT electronic redistribution services on EINet. We'll continue to use the listserv application but, you can directly contact me for assistance unless you prefer to use listserv. (For further information on the listserv send the message `help' to iceimt@einet.net)
DISCUSSION:
I'm working on a whitepaper now (5-6 pages) which attempts to identify the unique value that the ICEIMT provides and the audience that it has/would motivate to work together. I plan on running this document pass this list once it has been reviewed by the US/EC collaboration action officers. My desire is that this document would then be widely distributed after your review to those who want to better understand what is the value of the ICEIMT in regards to: participants, reviewers, customers, and other integration activities.
If this whitepaper is going to be effective, it needs to be representative of the community working on EI technical issues and (pragmattic) approaches. If you are interested in participating in an ad-hoc email working group that will discuss and develop the whitepaper please send electronic mail to speyer@mcc.com. If you can not participate at this time there will be another chance for discussion and review once the first draft is completed.
