I received a few messages from people interested in establish a Technical Writer Trade Union (an Internet-based one, of course!).

OK

To do it, we need:
1) A specific mail list to be used as "virtual headquarter"
2) A list of the partecipating people
3) A secretary and/or a leading staff
4) A program
5) A WWW site where publish our documents and publicize our activities.

Possible solutions:
1) I think Eric can give us a few suggestions regarding how to start a new mail list (or, even, he can start it for us).
2) Start from my name and collect the other ones from TECHWR-L and WINHLP-L with a brodcast invitation message.
3) We can vote the secretary and the staff via e-mail. IMHO, I would like to have Alexia Prendergast and Eric Ray as our leading staff.
4) The leading staff should prepare a draft of the program and submit it to the subscriber's judgment via e-mail.
5) I think we should rent a few Mb from a cheap ISP for our needs. I'm personally willing to pay a (small) annual fee to our trade union for this task. A possible alternative is to find a friendly ISP willing to host our pages.

Any comment is welcome.

P.S. Of course, I'm speaking for myself, not for my company.
