Dear all,
If I understand the mandate of the publications committee (PubCrawl)
and its composition we need to do the following:
1. Participate in the negotiations with OUP and Blackwell on the LLC.
(RS, LH and I along with LLC folk)
2. The Publications group should review the publications proposal to
ADHOC and start developing a full framework.
3. In particular we should develop an e-journal proposal to be
circulated before the conference.
The composition of the Publications Committee is (for now)
ACH Reps
Geoffrey Rockwell (also TEI)
Lorna Hughes
Ray Siemens
ALLC Reps
Marilyn Deegan
Edward Vanhoutte
Simon Horobin
I am not sure Lorna wants to be involved in the nitty gritty of the
publications committee, but she should be involved in the
negotiations around LLC. Am I missing someone? Is someone on this
list who shouldn't be?
Yours,
Geoffrey Rockwell

C. Publications (Geoffrey)
Key tasks:
- develop a publications strategy framework, building on GR's
original paper, and taking into account subsequent discussions
and developments
Discussion:
- the ALLC Committee is in process of approving an rfp for the
publication of LLC.
This is about to go to OUP and Blackwell, with a deadline of 30 April.
The responses need to be considered, with follow-up questions and
legal and financial advice during May. Assuming both bids are felt
to be worth considering, both publishers could be invited to give
presentations to the association committee(s) at Goteborg.
- previously JU and HS had proposed a publications work group
consisting of GR and Ray Siemens (both ACH) and Marilyn Deegan,
Edward Vanhoutte, and Simon Horobin (LLC Editor and Associate
Editors). This corresponds to a proposal in GR's ADHOC paper.
Proposal: it would make sense for GR and RS to be involved on
behalf of the ACH in reviewing the submissions from OUP and
Blackwell, along wiith LH. The publications work group should
take into account the publishers' proposals in developing the
wide-ranging publications strategy proposals for ADHO.
