As you know, this list is adminstered by volunteers.
Jim Bacher has been administering the emc-pstc
listserver for several years. Its time to give
him a rest, and ask for a volunteer to take his
place.
We are seeking a volunteer to help administer the
emc-pstc subscription e-mail address list.
We have two volunteers who:
verify and add new subscribers
verify and drop discontinued subscriptions
change subscriber addresses
fix subscriber address problems
The administrator gets 4 kinds of messages from
majordomo (the listserver software) and from
subscribers:
1- subscription requests
2- subscription inquiries (problems)
3- listserver bounce (delivery failure) messages
4- non-subscriber posting attempts
Each volunteer handles about half of our 800+
subscriber list, anywhere from 0 to 10 transactions
per volunteer per day. Average about 15-20 minutes
per day.
It takes 2 months or so to gain proficiency in
dealing with the bounce messages, as these take
some interpretation and experience to recognize if
any action is necessary. While we require no formal
commitment, we would like our volunteers to stay
for 2 years or so.
The volunteer's e-mail system must have no cap on
the number of messages. You should be able to read
and forward message headers. Your e-mail system
should have a high-speed connection to the internet.
Our goal is to identify some candidate volunteers,
then meet and interview candidates at the IEEE EMC
Symposium in Washington on the afternoon of August
21. However, meeting at the Symposium is something
we'd like to do, and is not required (if you are
not planning on attending the Symposium).
The administrator can be located anywhere in the
world (one of our past admins was in Japan).
If you are interested in helping us run this listserver,
please send e-mail to the three of us:

Thanks, and best regards,
Rich
