Greetings paper contributors,
It is time for final approval of our manuscript. Here is the manuscript I
ask you to approve towards submission to Frontiers in Systems Biology:

IF YOU ARE ON THIS LIST - YOU HAVE 3 TASKS DO TO:
TASK 1:
Please go over the paper and the Journal rules here:
https://www.frontiersin.org/about/policies-and-publication-ethics
Note that the guidelines allow to establish authors levels of contribution
according to https://www.frontiersin.org/about/author-guidelines section
1.9 - however order is not dictated - I suggest to keep this order which
is more or less random - I really do not want to discuss order or authors -
this is not the purpose of this paper.
Also to simplify the process, I detached the manuscript from the working
group - we can add it back according to section 1.10 of the guidelines. For
simplicity I suggest we just submit the paper as a group of authors -
unless someone volunteers their time to do more paperwork. The working
group is mentioned in the paper as well as correspondences.
TASK 2:
Please check again your name and affiliation is correct. this can be fixed
in submission - and apologies in advance for any mistakes. In cases of dual
affiliation, I listed only one, so please look at the submission guidelines
and give me the correct information according to the guidelines - I will
have to enter it manually in the system upon submission.
TASK 3:
REPLY TO ALL TO THIS MESSAGE and note one of the following options:
1. APPROVE: this means you agree that the manuscript represents your views
correctly You also approve the corresponding author to act on your behalf
for the rest of the publication process - currently I am the corresponding
author and will add Marcella if possible yet if anyone else wants to
volunteer - please do.
2. DISAPPROVE: This means you cannot have your name signed on this
manuscript and the group should discuss some matters in further details
before submission to properly represent you - this means you are still
interested in being an author, yet need your views represented properly -
this will delay us all, so if you choose this option, this means you will
have to spend time on discussions and explain why you have not acted by now
and you are asking to delay now. This option will take a lot of time from
you and others, yet you certainly have the right to choose this option.
3. ABSTAIN: This means you are ok with removing your name from the author
list and allowing the rest of us to submit the manuscript with your
contribution without taking responsibility - your name will be added to
acknowledgements instead. In legal terms it means you waive copyright on
the text you added so we can legally send this text to the Journal despite
your name not listed in the author list.
I also ask John Gennari for the last time to rejoin the group and approve
the manuscript as an author sinceI believe he had major contributions -
hopefully he will reconsider and accept this responsibility and privilege.
Otherwise he makes our lives harder to protect that paper, especially with
elements lik SemGen and Annotaions where he is an expert.
I will need a public response from all of you - if you send me a private
email I will forward it to the list to become public record - please avoid
doing so since you are making me work twice- so PLEASE PRESS REPLY ALL.
Hopefully we can get this approval round done quickly and move forward and
submit.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> If there is a mismatch of authors in the submission, it can
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> be easily corrected - we kept the paper traceable when we constructed it so
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> we can point to exact texts contributed by each contributor through their
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> google account and versions kept in google docs with few exceptions where I
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> personally added text their wrote and have email conversations supporting
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> that . I personally collected all those contributions in google docs when
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I assembled the version you see and made sure it is agreed upon by the
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> contributors. It is important to note that There was one contributor that
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> asked for more revisions and did not approve this manuscript, yet allowed
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> submitting the text without association to it to avoid delays. The entire
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> conversation was documented publicly in our mailing list and we got consent
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> from this contributor to continue and use the text - You can find the
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> conversation here:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> https://lists.simtk.org/pipermail/vp-reproduce-subgroup/2021-March/000019.html
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> - so there are no copyright issues and the name of the
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> author is not included in the list above at their request. Those included
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> in the list have contributed and approved. If needed, we will correct the
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> list in the journal to match this list. Please note that we kept the entire
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> process as transparent as possible so there will be no issues. If there are
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> any concerns of authorship, I will be happy to dig into the history and
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> pull out details.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2. The reason the manuscript was submitted in this form is
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> to get confirmation on initial fit and to get some initial feedback. We
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> were interested in fast review to get the information quickly out - Also
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> note that we did not intend this to be a final version - we already have
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> some modifications in the work that we would like to introduce where more
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> people contributed , yet we have not reached agreement on those so we
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> cannot formally publish them - however, we did reach agreement on
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> submitting this version for review so the editor can focus us on what is
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> important to change to get published with a 3rd Party - enough of us agreed
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> in a vote that your Journal seems is a suitable 3rd party and hence the
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> submission. We will be happy to spend the time to convert the manuscript to
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the desired format if you find the content suitable for the journal. So far
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> your requests are reasonable and I will convey them to the group through
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> our mailing list.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 3. Please note that after the list of authors there is a
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> disclaimer : "The opinion of the contributors do not
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> reflect the opinions of the entire working group". Initially
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> this paper started as an activity requested by the working group leads.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> However, by no means it represents all opinions. The introduction in this
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> version of the paper captures some of this history of how the manuscript
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> was created and modified. However, we have other versions of the manuscript
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> in work where this history is deleted - If you prefer, we can easily create
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> a version that detaches from the working group to eliminate all concerns -
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> this is a relatively easy fix. However, whatever fix we do, we will have to
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> approve with all contributors.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 4 The revisions can be done in reasonable time. However,
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the process of collecting approval for all contributors to legally approve
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the revised manuscript will take more than 14 days. All contributors must
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> approve a manuscript for publication. With this number of authors we will
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> probably not make it in the time you mentioned - only the approval process
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> for collecting all approvals took alone about 3 weeks to approve this
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> version you see. Hopefully you will understand this and extend this time
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> period beyond 14 days.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> In summary:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Making the fixes you asked for towards publication is easy -
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> yet getting the approval from so many people may take us more time than
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> what you provide. If it is possible to get an extension, it will be
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> appreciated.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I will add this conversation to our mailing list so we can
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> start the process of revising the manuscript. However, if after this email
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> you have more issues with this paper, Please advise on the best course of
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> action you see fit so we can adjust accordingly.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Hopefully we can address your concerns in time to publish
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the manuscript in a timely manner.
