First, a quick reminder to be sure that submissions no longer go to cuae2.
They should now be finding their way to newprod@mcdchg.UUCP.  Thanks.

Here's a slightly modified copy of some guidelines I sent out a while ago.
Since then, I've got a bit more relaxed about things.  Basically, I'm very
firm on A, pretty firm on B&C (I have allowed announcements of new versions
of previously announced products.).  I'm pretty lax on D and E, usually
letting someone who wants to look bad, look bad and allowing announcements
that need more space, have it.

----------	
 A) There must be a name and address (electronic and postal) for
    receiving more information.  (A phone number is suggested.)
 B) Announcements should happen no more than once.
 C) Certain "events" happen more than once, like UniForum, seminars,
    and training courses.  Announcements of this nature may repeat
    if there is real value to the community in doing so.
 D) Announcements should ideally fit within about 15 screen lines.
 E) Announcements that look like advertising hype to the moderator
    may be edited and returned to the submitter for approval.

Conflict-of-Interest Policy:  My position on Motorola products is that I will
not *generate* an announcement for any products and that Motorola products
must meet the same guidelines as other products.
----------	

I am open to suggestions on further modifications to the guidelines.
