  1. Publications –
Elizabeth’s met with Wiley and Springer representatives during ENAR. Neither publisher is keen to have an RFP issued. John will email publications task force to seek their opinion on issuing an RFP. Wiley would want 5 years or more. It may be advantageous to have 5 year term with Wiley since staff and Executive Editor are turning over. Print on demand is being pushed by Wiley.
