[ISSHA] HAB Conference Proceedings Guidelines

Wed Dec 10 09:20:25 EST 2008

Dear Edna:

I will be happy to talk about this with you, over a bottle on wine, when we meet in January for the MIDTAL project.
I will not stir on about Edimburgh or Greece (I myself voted Greece). But trying to be practical:

1. Everytime there is a discussion about proceedings, we all finish agreeing that we all like to have a collection of them as a very useful "history" of HABs and the state of the art on that moment. 

2. It would be great to have a common format so future organizers do not need to break their heads each time. The present one is almost identical to the format used in the IOC sponsored proceedings in the past (Sendai, Vigo, Tasmania), and most recently Florida and Copenhaguen.

3. The present guidelines were prepared by the previous ISSHA Publications Committee. I agree with you it would have been better if they had been circulated before to the rest of the Council. We will take this into account to avoid this in the future. 

4. I think it was helpful to have some guidelines available by the end of the conference. Otherwise, there would not have been a guide on how to proceed for peple who wanted to submit their papers.  Both, Pat and I were worried to make sure this reached everybody. Then, the announcement (and the deadlines) were loaded at the ISSHA website (as soon as Karin started to use the web herself), and the convenors from Hong Kong hanged it on the Conference website. I suggested to Ginnie and K.C.Ho to send a circular (with the dealine) to all conference participants, but they preferred to do everything through their web.

5. The new Publication Committee at ISSHA will be informed of all these previous debates, successes and mistakes, and can plan for a long term strategy. And as far as Nina, Karin and I are concerned, we have already dedicated a good lot of our time in the last month to analyze ISSHA, its websites and future priorities to make it more participative (and active in between conferences).

Best wishes,

Beatriz Reguera

Hi,

I was at the ISSHA homepage some minutes ago, and just saw that the "guidelines "send by Judy (see message below) as I understood, was for us  to comments on,  have  been already  placed on the homepage.

I am appalled : how can this be possible without us discussing if we thought that the document was good as it was to be placed on the net?. I had been writing my comments, which I am attaching to these e-mail. And  I wrote them   without having in mind there was a Deadline (I cannot find this deadline on Judys e-mail below). Anyway, hope you give some though on what I wrote as it is less and less looking to me that ISSHA is behaving in a democratic way towards it´s membership.
