Augusto, et al
I've comments on just two points:
7. This ought to make clear (if that is the intention) that TC6 expects the
publisher to provide the CDs and at some reasonable price. (I'll explore
later today what people here would charge.)
8. If a paper is available on the author's web site (or authors' web sites),
why should anyone pay for it from the publisher (see point 2)? How about
demanding that authors be allowed to put the free information (see point 3)
on their public web-sites but also be allowed to distribute electronic
copies, if they wish? That way we don't totally undermine the financial
benefit to the electronic publishers (which ultimately means money for TC6)
but we do allow the authors to show what they've done to the world and (if
they are willing to go to the trouble of sending out electronic copies) to
let individuals see the full works.

Subject: [ifip-tc6] IFIP Publication Policy
Dear all,
Sometime ago I circulated a document from TC5 with a proposal for the IFIP
publication policy. I received comments from Arun Iyengar, Guy Leduc, Harry
Rudin and Lyman Chapin. I tried to put together some of these comments and
my own ideas in a short document that I attach to this mail. Please let me
know whether I can distribute this document within IFIP as a TC6 view or if
I should change it.
Please let me have your comments until this coming Friday. I wish to send it
to IFIP on that evening.
Best regards
Augusto
