I thought TREG is such a good idea for telecom devices, why not one for medical device regulatory information?
Thus MEDIC, the MEdical Devices Information Consortium ... to subscribe send "subscribe medic" to majord...@world.std.com. To contribute, members may send messages to me...@world.std.com. Info on MEDIC: Welcome to the home of me...@world.std.com, the Medical Devices Information Consortium, an established discussion group on medical devices regulations. Medical Devices Information Consortium (MEDIC) ========================================== Charter and Guidelines 10 December 1996 MEDIC is an informal group of people interested in medical device regulations and standards world-wide, networked electronically by mailing list. Its purpose is to provide a forum for the sharing of public, but esoteric or possibly obscure medical device compliance information, or related information with limited natural distribution. Members need only send contributions to: me...@world.std.com All mail sent to this Internet address will be immediately echoed to everyone on the MEDIC list by an automated list server. SUBSCRIBING OR UNSUBSCRIBING - Send an Internet e-mail request with the phase "subscribe medic" or "unsubscribe medic" in it to: majord...@world.std.com DISCLAIMER: MEDIC postings are the sole responsibility of the message originators. Jon Curtis does not assure the correctness or viability of any information distributed by the MEDIC list server, nor accepts any responsibility for the use of any MEDIC distributed information. MESSAGE CONTENT GUIDELINES: 1. Correspondence should be limited to information or queries relating to medical device regulations or standards only. Shared information should not be confidential or in any way proprietary. Please don't use the MEDIC for simple correspondence - Private correspondence should be addressed directly, unless it has broad appeal or interest. 2. Blatant or overt advertising of goods or services is not permitted. The MEDIC list server is provided as a service by Jon Curtis, whose policies prohibit anything that might be construed as conflict of interest. Exceptions: a) Short, non-promotional "trailers" or signature lines for the sole purpose of identifying the sender and the sender's organization. b) Answers to queries about goods or services, where the intent of the answer is to inform, but not promote. (When in doubt, send the questioner a private message.) c) This guideline is specific to the use of the MEDIC list server, and in no way inhibits individuals from contacting MEDIC members privately and independently. 3. Posting of medical device job openings is OK so long as they are short (i.e., 1 paragraph), non-commercial (no agencies or headhunters - no fees involved), infrequent (about one out of every 10 messages or less), and contain an off-MEDIC contact name and phone number or e-mail address. Same goes for jobs-wanted (if you can fit your resume into one paragraph!). 4. Using key words in the title or subject line will assist members who archive the message traffic and may wish to search it later. Suggested keywords include: CUSTOMIZED or DIAGNOSTIC or a country name (where the information is country-specific). 5. Queries or requests for information should be focused and brief. Respondents should be careful about endorsements - When in doubt, don't. HISTORY: MEDIC was started by Jon Curtis at Curtis-Straus LLC on 8 December 1996.
