    <p>Dear Jacob:</p>
    <p>I see a lot of progress but the text is still fragmentary. I
      think you will have a hard time having it reviewed before you
      clean it up some more. <br>
    </p>
    <p>Frontiers is a reasonable place for it, and it does give you the
      opportunity to do multiple rounds of review.</p>

        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>So far there were no objections and support in your
          suggested venue was provided by  9 out of the 17 original
          authors + support by many that joined later.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>I have seen no objection to the venue by anyone. - meaning
          that we can probably move on to the new venue and start the
          process.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>I suggest you move on and contact the editor and follow the
          proper process for the venue and ask for feedback. </div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>Please indicate that we are seeking review to guide further
          revisions that we have already begun, yet not completed, so
          there may be changes in title, authors, and text, yet the core
          paper has been approved by 17 authors and major arguments will
          most probably stay. </div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>The version we can currently legally  submit is this one
          that we approved:</div>

        </div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>I locked that version for changes until the review process
          is complete. </div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>For the many who wanted revisions - we will have them still
          - yet since we have not reached agreement on a revised
          version, it will have to wait until after review. is provided
          and we can incorporate reviewers comments in the revisions. </div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>Marcella, please let us know if you will handle submission
          and communications with the publication venue. - Frontiers in
          Systems Biology</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>Regarding submission, I suggest starting with doing things
          that do not take effort - like communicating with the editor
          about this paper and declaring intention to see the response
          we get. </div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>While we wait for responses, we can continue discussion and
          give a last chance for objections to Frontiers in Systems
          Biology to arrive from the original 17 contributors. If any
          objection to the venue appears before we get a response, we
          will have to stop the process. </div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>Hopefully the large support in the new venue will persist.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>I suggest we start a new email thread regarding submission
          and that we all get updated on the process to keep things
          transparent. </div>

                                                  requesting for this 
                                                  this morning), let
                                                  them know that we
                                                  intend to submit 1
                                                  manuscript and what
                                                  the proposed title of
                                                  the manuscript is.
                                                  Once that initial
                                                  information is
                                                  submitted, then I will
                                                  be “emailed
                                                  information about next
                                                  steps”. Of course, at
                                                  any point we can also
                                                  contact the editorial
                                                  office, but would it
                                                  be helpful to get a
                                                  sense of the process
                                                  first and then ask for
                                                  clarification as
                                                  needed? At what point
                                                  will we have enough
                                                  responses from
