Hi George, all Thanks for your message. Your wish to use the conference is perfectly understandable.

Thank you for understanding :)

There are a couple of considerations. First, we do already have a planned release in Dec14/Jan15 (on law and disruption). So we would need to coordinate with the law team for announcements.

The other question is about your planned follow-up issue, by

non-participants. This is what was originally planned:

...

* Say if all goes well and you release Part 1 on 15 september 2014 *>* => CFP for Part 2 goes out also 15 september 2014 *>* => abstracts due 15 october 2014 (short) *>* => decision by 30 october 2014 *>* => full article due 30 january 2015 *>* => reviews due 15 march 2015 *>* => revised articles due 15 may 2015 *>* => get signals, upload, etc *>* => release july 2015*

If you are still planning to release your CFP for Part 2 at the same time as Part 1 is published (which makes sense) then that pushes back the Part 2 release to Dec15/Jan16. Is this what you have in mind?

Yes.

So there are no objections from me but what do others think - in particular the law issue eds? FWIW we released JoPP 1 and 2 at the same date and it was no problem in my opinion.

That's a very good idea, and i fully agree, why not release both issues at the same time? So, unless the editors of the law issue have any objections, we are going to release the special issue on 'policy proposals for a society of the commons' in Dec 2014 (rather than in Sep 2014, as originally planned). Best, -G.

cheers Mathieu

Dear friends,

There is something I'd like to ask you: Would it be a problem if we postpone the release of the special issue of JoPP on 'Policy recommendations for a society of the commons' for 3 months?

The rationale for proposing this delay is that we (meaning the FLOK Society Project) are organising a summit in Quito in the end of May with the aim of reviewing and elaborating on the policy papers, so we thought it is a good idea to change the deadline for submissions from March 31 to June 31 so as to be able to incorporate the feedback given us at the summit. So, if we do that, the time-frame will have to be modified as follows:

-deadline for the submission of papers: June 31 (instead of March 31) -end of review process: Aug 31 (instead of May 31) -deadline for re-submission of revised papers: Oct 31 (instead of July 31) -special issue goes live on the web: Dec (instead of Sep)

So, my question is, does anyone object to the proposed change in the time-planning of the special issue?

Best, -G.
