Subject: Reconsidering ADS publication arrangements



At the ADS Executive Council meeting Friday morning, January 9, we will have

real business to transact: considering the future arrangements for our

publications and for the management of our society.



Here is the report from the hard-working ad hoc committee. The report does

*not* include details of the specific proposals from the publishers, partly

because the publishers may well revise their proposals. But all details will

be on the table at the Council meeting.



As usual, the January 9 meeting (8 am!) will be open to all ADS members. If

more people attend than usual, we may need a bigger room. So - if you are not

a Council member but are planning to attend, please let me know in advance (e-

mail to AAllan[AT SYMBOL GOES HERE]aol.com).



Meanwhile, comments on this report are appropriate for ADS-L, as are

questions. We need everyone's best thinking! - Allan Metcalf, executive

secretary
