In which way does it violate the policy? The 'Guidelines for Posting' ( www.teradataforum.com/post.htm ) and the Welcome Letter both contain a section called 'Making Announcements on the TeradataForum'. That section does permit vendors to ask for beta testers, as long as participation is open to everybody and without cost.

Here's the section from the 'Guidelines for Posting':

-------------
Making Announcements on the TeradataForum

It is possible to make announcements of general interest to the Teradata Forum. Typical announcements might be a conference call, a call for beta testers, the distribution of freeware, etc. For an announcement to be made, it must be without cost and open to all members of the Teradata Forum.

When calling for beta testers, a single post (per product) announcing the beta-program will be permitted. A second post notifying people that the beta test program has ended will be permitted. Once again, the beta program must be free of charge and open to all members of the Teradata Forum.

If you would like to make an announcement to the Teradata Forum, please send that announcement to the List Administrator for review. After we agree on wording and content, the announcement will be sent to the Forum by the List Administrator.

If you choose to send an announcement directly to the Teradata Forum without the prior approval of the List Administrator, then the post may be treated as billable.

FWIW: Beta announcements have been made a couple of times in the past - they're nothing new.
