[Vp-reproduce-subgroup] [Vp-integration-subgroup] White paper submission - vote for venue

Sat May 1 15:50:10 PDT 2021

Thanks to all those who voted.

Voting will continue so this is not final, yet since many seem to vote for
revision, all those who wanted to revise should start preparing revisions.
It is one thing to make a decision, it is quite another to invest the
effort and actually contribute revisions - you can ask permission to edit
the document with your google account - .I will grant those - yet I will
not open it to anonymous contributions. If the revision option is
eventually elected we will have 2 weeks of revisions and then an approval
round of 1 week to reach consensus - meaning everyone must approve again .
All contributors that wanted to get in will be able to contribute. I only
ask that new contributors add substantial content - like address some of
our open issues.

If we do not reach consensus within 4 weeks which is 1 week till voting end
+ 2 weeks of revisions + 1 week of approval, the fall back position is the
current version that already achieved consensus. And consensus here means
unanimous agreement among all contributors - this is required legally for
publication.

In other words if we do not reach consensus within a month on a revised
version, we will resubmit the already approved version since we already
reached consensus there. And I suggest not to wait till the last minute -
if all revisions come in the last day -  consensus may not be reached.
People need time to look at the document. So please post your revisions as
soon as possible. I am using those time scales since this is the month of
May already - almost 1/3 of a year since we started - and much of it was
wasted on waiting for people to react - I personally see this as dragging
feet. The content we assembled is already substantial - any delay reduced
the impact.

When revising, please consider the venue. Currently it is either RS
Interface or  Bioinformatics  yet this may change if others vote in a
different direction - remember, you can change your vote and your last vote
counts.

Hopefully this email gives everyone sufficient time to react if indeed
revision will be elected.

                  Jacob
