A few questions/annotations on Geoffrey's plan, which in general
sounds very good to me:
>1. The ACH alters their relationship with CHUM so that member do not
>have to subscribe to CHUM. It continues to be a choice (ie. they can
>pay an extra $50 or so to also get CHUM.)
Would Kluwer continue to offer its discounted CHUM subscription rate
to ACH members if the relationship were severed? (this is a minor
point of curiosity, not anything substantive)
>5. Humanist would continue as is, as would the CHWP.
I don't know whether CHWP is sufficiently closely tied to the ACH to
be represented here as part of ACH (and if it's not, would it be
worth bringing it in officially?). But it seems to me that as long as
we're overhauling and consolidating, it would be worth talking about
this corner of the universe as well. Having some sort of preprint
archive or similar organ would be useful for all of the organizations
involved. CHWP could certainly use an update--e.g. putting into a
searchable database form?

And perhaps also abstracts from DRH, TEI conferences, other related
conferences?
