[RTC List] New RTC Technologies - what is RTC's focus?

[Bob Morse]

That's a good question, Shawn. It's not something the board alone should
answer. If you read our announcements or come to the meetings you already
know what we are doing. But the RTC is a membership organization and we are
open to, even continually encouraging ideas from the membership. So, tell us
what ideas you think we should be championing that we are not. Or better
ways to champion the ones we are.

BTW, this list was set up for, and has always been a discussion list.  For
that, it is very low volume. And since we moved to using the Mailman system
you could opt to have messages in a daily digest if you don't like getting
individual messages. A link at the bottom of each message takes you to page
with unsubscribe info, a link to archives and a way to change your
subscription options.
