Land and Resource Economics Electronic Conference (aka, res-econ)

1. What is res-econ?

     The electronic conference is a mail server which routes letters from
individual members to all subscribers to the conference.  The list is
administered by Richard Porter <rmporter@unixg.ubc.ca>.  If you have any
questions regarding the list, you can reach Richard through email, or at
(604) 822-8744. 

2. What is the purpose of res-econ?

     The land and resource economics electronic conference was set up to
facilitate the communication and discussion of issues and topics related
to land and resource economics: its history, ontology, pedogogy,
methodology, theory and application.  While the host is located at the
University of British Columbia, Vancouver, discussion is not limited to
local issues--the server is not intended to be parochial.  Job openings
(private, public and academic), research positions, and conference
announcements are also welcome, as long as they pertain to the res-econ
charter. 

3. Topics for discussion [the charter] via res-econ include but are not
   limited to: 

          - land economics
          - resource economics, renewable and non-renewable

          - job openings and research opportunities
          - advice and assistance, including personal experience
     
4. How does one get on the list?

     To subscribe to the list, you mail a message to:

           res-econ-request@unixg.ubc.ca

     The subject header of your message should read:

          subscribe to res-econ

     In the body of your letter type your name as you prefer to be
commonly addressed. 

     To send a message to all members of the list, simply address email
to: 

          res-econ@unixg.ubc.ca


5. Using res-econ@unixg.ubc.ca

     As there is no delay or review of re-routed messages, users are
encouraged to keep their discussions relevant, and to edit out extraneous
chatter when replying to individuals or to the conference as a whole
(especially when doing the latter) [subject headers should be used at all
times].  The open-access nature of mail-servers can lead to an undesirably
high noise-to-signal ratio.  However, self-discipline by users can keep
the diseconomies to a minimum.  Abusers of the server, will be purged and
denied access to the list by the authority of the list owner and
administrator [there will be no second chances]. 

6. Obtaining a copy of -list

	The list is not for sale or distribution.  Punto final!
