Dear all,
Are there any volunteer to participate in this committee? I would be  
one, as a matter of fact.
Cheers,
Laurent

> Dear Laurent,

> Last year at the TEI Board Meeting, the Board discussed the  
> possibility of a publishing arm of the TEI. The impetus for this  
> proposal came out of the desirability (or at lest the perceived  
> desirability) of publishing, at least, a proceedings from the Annual  
> TEI MM and Conference.
>
> In 2007 we were lucky in having L&LC agree to publish a special  
> issue of proceedings from the MM. In 2008 we were not able to secure  
> a publisher. For 2009 I have had a discussion with the editors of a  
> DH journal who are at least in principle, interested in publishing a  
> proceedings.
>
> It might, however, be more desirable for the proceedings to be  
> published by one publisher or at least to be co-located online from  
> one source (ideally the TEI site itself). While the TEI could simply  
> choose to publish a proceedings on its site every year, this  
> publishing model does not allow for contributors to get the  
> necessary credit in terms of peer-reviewed publication.
>
> The Board has thus approved that committee be convened to look into  
> this matter. It will report back to the Board in Autumn 2009 prior  
> to the TEI Members Meeting and Conference. I am convening the  
> Committee, and the Board has requested that two representatives each  
> from the Council and SIG Chairs also be appointed.
>
> I wonder if you might take the request to the Council and ask if two  
> members might be interested in helping us with this important work.
