b.
Reiteration that this process is in development and any/all documentation is in support of discussion with nothing decided and all open to change. c.
Establishing standardized application process, wherein scholars with work to be reviewed complete application form as with NINES, agreed to be appropriate. d.
Sample materials determined to be productive for developing standardized application for scholars, reviewer materials, review process, etc. Committee Chair will contact venues with review process for nontraditional scholarly works (NINES, EVIA http://www.eviada.org/element.cfm?mc=6&ctID=27&eID=109 , etc.) to request sample materials for full process – all materials would be ideal, so even reviews with information redacted. Committee members will review all materials received for developing application and other templates for use with pilot project.
