[tei-council] proposal for a Scholarly Publishing SIG

[Susan Schreibman]

Many thanks for your constructive comments on this SIG proposal. It 
sounds from the conversation that this SIG is a winner.

The concerns raised, that this not simply cover print publication, but 
web-based publication was flagged to the SIG proposer. In fact, Laurent 
and I are aware of another possible SIG that is interested in developing 
a schema for web-based publication. Laurent and I asked the proposers to 
see if they could combine into one, but it seemed they were not able to 
find enough common ground (I'm not sure why).

I will, however, take your comments back to Kenneth:

1) that Council encourages this SIG to consider both print and online 
publication in its schema development;
2) that several members of Council have suggested that a meeting be held 
in Europe on this matter (I'll forward the individual suggestions)

The only other item is the Council liaison. I'm not sure how a liaison 
was chosen in the past, or if there can be more than one. Laurent -- 
perhaps you can help me with this one.

Please also let me know if I have missed any points to convey to Kenneth.

Susan
