> At this year's Algonquian Conference, the PAC (Papers of the Algonquian
> Conference) editorial team plans to hold a discussion of alternative
> publishing and funding models (more details below). We are looking for
> volunteers to join us in planning this discussion, in order to open things
> up to new possibilities that we might not otherwise think of. If you are
> interested and can commit a small bit of time to doing this before October,
> please reply to this address (algonquianpapers at gmail.com) by *August 11t**h*
> (the reason for the deadline is just so that we have time to get organized).

> The background here is that a few years back MSUP (Michigan State
> University Press, our current publisher) underwent some funding changes;
> specifically, MSU stopped subsidizing the Press, and they now have to break
> even on our volumes (they do not, however, have to make a profit). We have
> tried to fold this cost into the registration for the conference, but that
> is becoming untenable. At this point they need about $3,000 (US) from us,
> and that's too much for conference organizers to raise.

> There's lots more that could be added, but to keep this message brief, we
> will save it for the eventual planning committee.

> And please forward this message to anyone you think might not be on this
> email list.
