**********************************************************************       
                  IEEE NEWS GROUP
*********************************************************************

I am interested in starting a new newsgroup for IEEE
enthusiasts. Planned subgroups include communications,
computers, aerospace, circuits, microwave, engineering
management and any other topic of interest to users of the
newsgroup (suggestions welcome).

The news group will br entitled   ieee    with
subgroups like ieee.comp (Computer Society), ieee.com (Communications),
and with capability to add subgroups based on needs of the
readers and user.


The news group is open to people
interested in IEEE, and also people interested in activities in
engineering in general,
to help publicize meeting / talk announcements,
useful discussions, creative suggestions and any
cooperative projects (Example : seeking coauthors for papers; seeking
volunteers for technical committees)

General discussions of engineering and computer science professions
covering topics like pension, ethics, age discrimination, alien
engineers, unemployment, licensure and registration, women engineers,
U.S. technology policies, continuing education, salary/opinion surveys,
entrepreneurial activities, students' concerns are highly potential.

SUMMARY
-------
THE USERS OF THE NEWS GROUP NEED NOT BE IEEE MEMBERS.

This news group will be helpful to streamline the IEEE related
activities of all the USENET users. 

Please post your responses (YES/NO votes), further enquiries
& suggestions to this news group ( news.groups) or to me
and / or call or write to :

THE NEWS GROUP'S USEFULNESS AND CREATION OF SUBGROUPS DEPENDS
ON ALL YOU (ALL OF US). SO PLEASE RESPOND WITH BOTH POSITIVE
AND NEGATIVE COMMENTS SOON TO ME OR POST THEM TO news.groups.


Thanks

      It is a great idea to start ieee news groups. I am very 

enthusiastic about it. Positive or negative comments, I think, should

come later, i.e after starting the news groups.
