<DIV><BR></DIV>Dear Vivian,<BR> If the WBRG
meeting in Paris was an independent meeting of interested scholars I would,
more or less, agree with you. A bi-lingiual volume would be only to the good.
However, the WBRG is a working group of ICAZ. There has been a unstated policy
of all ICAZ working groups to publish everything submitted after the
conference by participants, preferably in peer-reviewed format and
well-edited. The language, up to now, has been in English to insure widest
possible dissemination of the information it contains. Checking back with
members of the executive committee this 'open' and 'inclusive' policy has
never before been an issue. <BR> BAR asks only for a
clean camera-ready manuscript and would not require format change on
Isabelle's part and it would produce hard-copy. Thus, if the editing of the
papers is far advanced it would not require anything more than to find someone
who can convert word files into whatever electronic publishing
language.<BR> To my mind (sorry to repeat
myself) the only question is whether the proceedings are published on the
Nanterre server electronically or in hard copy (BAR being the best option). I
am happy to write to David Davidson at BAR to make sure this is a real option
although since the first and second proceedings were published by BAR I would
be surprised if problems cropped
up.<BR> <B> I also suggest that in
addition to complaining about this or that in the publication we offer
Isabelle all help with the English editing which will move things along much
faster if carried out in an expeditious fashion. I raise my hand immediately
to offer that help. </B><BR><BR>Best,<BR>Alice<BR><BR>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear colleagues</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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 face=Arial size=2>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 face=Arial size=2>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>
