Re: Proposed International Technical Writers Group

[Nancy Hoft <nhoft -at- WORLD-READY -dot- COM>]

I wonder whether Alexia and others are aware of a group that has
existed for many years called INTECOM (International Council of
Technical Communication).  INTECOM is, for lack of a better analogy,
like a United Nations of technical communication organizations
worldwide.  The STC is a member, as are many other technical
communication organizations from many other countries.  Alexia's
proposed charter is strikingly similar to that of INTECOM, which
leads me to wonder whether it might be more useful to merge your
energies with an already established group to make it better??

INTECOM has so many possibilities.  All it needs is enthusiastic
volunteers like Alexia to bring these ideas to fruition.

If you'd like to learn more about INTECOM, please contact its current
president, Tom Warren, at twarren -at- vm1 -dot- ucc -dot- okstate -dot- edu -dot- 

Cheers, Nancy
