NEW TOPIC: Academia and Industry

[Hillary Hart]

Ann --

Let me reinforce your statement about STC's cooperation. As Academic 
Liaison, it's my job to foster cooperation and mutually realistic 
expectations between STC and the academic community. I fully support 
your call for comments on the STC Forum about what we would like to 
see STC do for and with us. I'm gathering a list of suggestions from 
this recent exchange on the stc-ac list and will present that list to 
STC leadership.

I hope you'll all generate more suggestions on both lists. Thanks for 
the input so far.
