WG: TEI SIG Newspapers and Periodicals

Dear all, I received an email from Dario Kampkaspar who is asking for the official approval of the SIG on Newspapers and Periodicals. The minutes from their meeting in Victoria contain the main interests of the SIG, see https://docs.google.com/document/d/1i0ow7-rfjg2OLwuyzXlk-u7P0nWLN5MP9VWUed1E.... I read through the SIG rules and wonder if the minutes are enough for a decision or if I should ask him for a summarized proposal / mission statement? I tend towards the latter. What do you think about it and what is the standard procedure? Best, Martina Von: Kampkaspar, Dario [mailto:Dario.Kampkaspar@oeaw.ac.at] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 1.

Damit Du hierzu auch etwas vorliegen hast, hier meine damalige Mail: this is to officially let you and Council know that the SIG on newspapers and periodicals asks to be formally recognized by the TEI. As I was the one to bring the topic back up, I was chosen as convener. We have met yesterday and discussed our work for the next year. The minutes of our meeting, which include our key interests, can be found under https://docs.google.com/document/d/1i0ow7-rfjg2OLwuyzXlk-u7P0nWLN5MP9VWUed1E...

I don't recall what the normal procedure is, if any, but it is worth keeping in mind that Council approval is required not because TEI-C wants a gatekeeper who would keep foolish SIGs away, but rather just a) to help prevent duplicate SIGs, and b) so that someone is paying attention to what SIGs there are and who is the contact person for each.
