To all IEEE 802.20 e-mail list subscribers, A number of e-mails have recently been posted to the 802.20 reflectors
that contain a "proprietary information" disclaimer. These
disclaimers attempt to shift the burden of information protection onto the
recipient of the e-mail. The inclusion of such disclaimers is in violation of
IEEE-SA policies. 4.1.1.5
Confidentiality Statements and Copyright Notices on Communications
The IEEE-SA Standards Board and its committees operate
in an open manner. To that end, no material submitted to the IEEE-SA Standards Board or its
committees will be accepted or considered if it contains any statement that
places any burden on the recipient(s) with respect to confidentiality or
copyright. Any communication, including electronic mail, containing language
with such restrictive wording will not be accepted or considered. (IEEE-SA
Standards Board Operating Manual) If you are using your corporate e-mail account, these
disclaimers are frequently added by the corporate e-mail server. If that is the
case, your corporate IT department may be able to configure the server so as to
exempt all e-mail going to ieee.org from having the disclaimer added. I would also suggest that you periodically verify that your
IT department has not changed its policy with respect to the addition of such disclaimers
to your outgoing e-mail. If you can not have your corporate IT department exempt your
IEEE e-mail from the disclaimer, you will need to subscribe from a personal
e-mail account that does not add such disclaimers. Best regards, Mark Klerer |
