Thanks to those who were at the IP Caucus last week for a great meeting, and especially thanks to Martine for leading it. Kyle Stedman has graciously agreed to serve as the incoming junior chair next year, so thanks very much to him, as well.
The proposal for next year's Caucus at CCCC in Las Vegas is due May 7, so we've got a month to come up with descriptions for roundtable topics. I've made the draft proposal editable in Google Docs
for the sake of reference. If you could add your roundtable topics to the document or send them to me by April 30, that will help us to get the proposal in by the deadline. I'll send out a reminder as the time draws near.
One suggestion for a roundtable was a "standing table" (i.e., one that would be held each time the caucus meets) on governmental policy activity relating to IP concerns in the previous year and in the upcoming year. Is there someone who would like to take the lead in writing up that roundtable discussion?
At the meeting this year, we discussed trying to draw in more participants, and Jennifer Michaels suggested that one way to do so would be by revising the introductory descriptive language to make it more appealing: Jen, would you be willing to take the lead on that?
Kyle, Jen, and Lanette Cadle also talked about a Wednesday morning workshop that would draw people to the afternoon workshop, and are working on that proposal.
We also discussed proposing a SIG that invites senior experts who are good at organizational advocacy to help us set up a resolution or letter to NCTE that asks them for more organizational advocacy on IP concerns. I volunteered to draft the proposal for that SIG, but would be grateful for any suggestions concerning proposal language or for experts to invite or ask for help.
Please feel free to start brainstorming your suggestions for roundables on the Google Doc or emailing them to me.
Looking forward to seeing you in Las Vegas,
Mike -- Mike Edwards, Ph.D. Assistant Professor Department of English and Philosophy United States Military Academy 314 Lincoln Hall, Building 607 West Point, NY 10996
I am interested in the standing table on legislation. At our table this year, Laurie Cubbison and I focused on the DMCA, SOPA, and PIPA, and I'd like to follow up on those and similar actual or proposed laws in the coming year. If that would be alright, I could start working on a paragraph describing the proposed table, along with anyone else who is interested (Laurie, how about you?)

Laurie & Kim - I'm interested as well. Thanks Kim for getting us going on this! Martine

Well, I expect that the Georgia State case will be settled by next year. I'd like to highlight it but would also like to talk about ways that we can continue to advocate for open access within and beyond rhet/comp. Happy to have anyone join me. I will write up a small blurb soon. cheers, jrg

I'd like to continue the conversation we started this year, and I've added the following description to the GoogleDoc (cribbed a bit from 2012):
Roundtable 3: Evolving IP Policies for Journals: A Spotlight on Scientific Publishing Karen J. Lunsford, University of California, Santa Barbara, klunsf...@writing.ucsb.edu, 805-893-8556
Publishers of scientific journals have begun to establish new IP policies, as they respond to greater numbers of authors; distributed, open-access venues for displaying data; a perceived rise in scientific fraud cases; and new templates for article formats. Because the policies of scientific journals tend to influence academic publishing as a whole, this roundtable will update participants on the latest policies and their potential impact on Writing Studies.
I'd welcome collaborators on this! We had an excellent discussion this past C's that compared the policies of science journals with those of poetry journals. If folks want to join in for 2013, please let me know, and let's talk about changing the roundtable title to suit :-)

For an article I have forthcoming in Pedagogy with Duke UP, I've encountered a situation that I would like to use as the basis for a or as part of an existing roundtable for next year. In short, the editors indicated that copyright permissions are now required for epigraphs. I never heard of this extension of copyright and find it stunning and alarming. Is this new? Have others encountered this situation?
Before working in the Google Doc, I wanted to check if others would be interested in discussing this or related ideas or, Karen, if this topic might work with your roundtable and if you'd be amenable to including it. Though I realize it is not a perfect fit (e.g., not addressing science journals in particular), it relates to the evolution of the application of copyright/IP for scholarly journals (it would be interesting to know if science journals have this same regulation).

Hi Jim, Is the epigraph a song lyric? I think it would be a great fit with my table. Perhaps we could call it just "Evolving IP Policies for Publications". Best, Karen
