Hi all,

I agree with George's participation in the editors' group.

I would add to the message to inactive participants something like ,"You are still welcome to join us again if your preferences change"... Just to express that the message is not an irreversible decision.

Happy Friday for you all,

Hi George, all

Since we follow "do-ocratic" principles it seems right to me that George, who is the only person to have expressed support for the evolution of the journal proposal on jopp-public, should formally be invited to join our editors group - all the more so as he edited with Vasilis an issue on policies for the commons and that is part of what we aim to develop.

@George: What do you say?

@Other ed group members: hope this is OK?

We have a process for adding new members to the editorial board: -a board member proposes someone on jopp-public; -he or she briefly introduces themselves and what they intend to contribute;

-if no-one objects, after a week, they are included.

We don't have a system in place for people joining the editors group (team? do we need a different term?). So far it's been done on a one-to-one basis. However since I've known George for a while I am pretty confident he will not mind being approached semi-publicly (hope I was right George - very sorry if I was wrong!).

There is a related issue, common to volunteer projects: people still being included in a group although they have been inactive for a very long time. But, how do we address this? We need to be mindful of people's feelings and approach this in a caring and respectful way.

So could we say something like:

"Dear X, you have not contributed to discussions on jopp-ed for [one, two?] years. This can only mean you are no longer as interested in this activity as you once were. We understand that other priorities have taken over, which is fine. However we think it would be best for the project if we acted on this and you left the ed group, to make room for new members. We thank you for your many past contributions to the project and wish you the very best."

How does everyone feel about this?

cheers, Mathieu
