1. There should be a joint publications committee that provides leadership to activities of the alliance and which identifies opportunities for efficient collaboration.
1.1 This committee would not replace or manage publication activities by the member organizations - it would coordinate them.
1.2 Individual publication venues would continue to the owned by member organizations.
1.3 The membership of this publication committee should be representative of the federated organizations and the linguistic diversity of our community.
2. One immediate opportunity for cooperation is the creation of an online journal that is both about humanities computing and demonstrates the use of humanities computing techniques.
2.1 Should the new contract for the LLC not meet the need for an online journal in the community, then the publications committee should proceed with a call for proposals to find a partner to develop one.
3. Other activities that the publications committee could coordinate would be the establishment of a news engine, the promotion of CHWP as a place for working papers, exploring a way of sharing web services, and establishing a print series around humanities computing.
3.1 In general the committee should develop ideas, take them to the alliance for approval and then manage the startup by finding partners to take on the initiative and implement it. The committee should not run projects, at most it should review and report on existing projects, though that should also happen through the "owners" of projects.
