Subject:   Things you should know about the ISO 9000 list
Policies and Procedures         December 22, 1999

Please read carefully and become involved in "your" group.
Pay close attention to the portion that discusses "listserv
commands". An awful lot of mail goes out daily. You should
seriously consider "digesting" your mail. I have placed
a *** to identify the directions in the text below.

JENNEJOHNN@UWSTOUT.EDU   Nancy Jennejohn, List Manager

Welcome to ISO 9000, a list dedicated to the discussion of the
ISO 9000 Standards. My name is Rob Polster and I am the List Editor.
I can be reached at JENNEJOHNN@UWSTOUT.EDU
The ISO 9000 Standards Discussion list is for those sharing and
exchanging ISO 9000 information and experiences. Discussions include:
who is doing what, what the successes and concerns have been, what systems,
methods, software and structures have been beneficial, identified and
required solutions, long and short term strategies, who have you partnered
with, educational methods and programs that have worked, policy and
structural issues, assessments and corrective actions, customer and
registrar comments and concerns, etc.....

The list engages in discussing and describing what is happening now,
and focuses on what the ISO 9000 should look like in the future and why.
Participants are invited to post notes, questions, comments, concerns, ideas,
and especially information and suggestions which enable us all to better
understand and use the benefits that the ISO 9000 family of quality
standard provides.

ISO 9000 is a moderated list. There will be a delay between the time you
send a message to the editor, and the time it is posted to the list.  Posts
will be reviewed and/or edited before being distributed to the list  membership.

When replying to a question or request, please include subject headings which
contain the subject of the original posting, and your last name.
Example: ISO 9000 Registrars/DOE.

Listed below are a list of commands to help you with you personal account.

Listserv

Normally the listserv will want you to subscribe from your own account
rather than having me add you to the list.  This allows the software to
confirm mailing routes.

Contact JENNEJOHNN@UWSTOUT.EDU if listserv gives you any problems and
we will seek a solution.
