PRESS POLICY

 

Being a member of TSANet projects an image that your company is customer oriented and willing to solve multivendor customer problems by communicating with both competitors and partners in the computer industry. As a member, you are encouraged to market your company's membership in TSANet. This can take several forms, including use of the TSANet logo and other press activities.

Any press-related activities done with reference to TSANet should be done for the benefit of TSANet and its member companies. Although we encourage TSANet's promotion by individual companies, the promotion of TSANet's membership should not and will not be granted when used for specific individual gain by one company if it conflicts with TSANet's mission of industry cooperation.

TSANet has established a press policy that member companies must follow. These guidelines are established to maintain unity and consistency among member companies. Although the policy is neither lengthy nor complicated, it is strictly enforced. Violation of this policy can result in suspension from TSANet.

v Members must follow the guidelines published in the TSANet logo usage guide and Code of Conduct.

v All Press Releases and or announcements that refer or reference involvement or participation in TSANet and/or TSANet activities must be approved in writing by TSANet headquarters. The executive director is required to obtain prior approval from the marketing committee before release.

v References to specific product(s) use of TSANet headquarters or by TSANet members is prohibited without prior approval.

v The Executive Director of TSANet is the only authorized spokesperson for TSANet and TSANet activities. All announcements about TSANet and its policies and activities will be made by TSANet Headquarters.
