<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Dear colleagues</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>As Christian has mentioned we all know how hard and
difficult is to edit a book. So it is not astounding what happened with the
Nanterre publication since, from my own experience, publishers are driven by a
logic that is a world away from our own. I think we have to privilege the work
just done and that all the efforts come to a good end. As long as I have
understood the situation, the conditions that Isabelle has mentioned in her
mail are imposed by the publisher. But we also have to think in the editor
position here. When one researcher decide to edit a volume she/he decided this
having all his/her circunstances in mind, since we are researchers and not
professional editors. We have many, many others think to do. So if we
change the circunstances, we are forcing her/him to confront a new
publisher, probably a new evaluation and editing processes and so on. It is
not fair we asked to our colleagues for more time to invest in
this.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Furthermore I think the prirority should be the
papers be published soon, no wonder if they are published in hardcopy or as
electronic publication.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>So I think we can: 1) accept the conditions
that the publishers are imposing and discuss the selection criteria (which it is
not ideal but it is not bad from the view point of those who had just answered
the consult: the <U>selected papers will be in a hardcopy</U> ) or 2) to publish
<U>all the papers</U> in an <U>electronic publication</U> ( in the WBRG site or
other), and take profit of all the hard work just
done.</FONT></DIV>
