Lyris list clean-up 06/24/2013
Dear leadership,
Thank you for your assistance and patience during the lyris list clean-up project – TIA membership database
merger.
Within last month I updated 627 entries for TR-8, TR-41 and TR-14 engineering committee and its
active formulating groups.
Once all TIA managers complete their committee clean-up the merger project will be initiated.
Process-wise nothing will change for you. You will continue to use [email protected]; [email protected] and
[email protected] as a mailing list for your committees.
However, as the process is changing on internally here at TIA, your lists will be more accurate.
I will go over details at the upcoming face-to-face leadership meeting.
Thank you for your support and investment in growing the future of TIA Engineering Standards development!
