Eberlein, Bob (1008) Papers of Current Practice SDR Submission Category (Submitted on behalf of the Publications Committee the attached report is a draft for discussion of the proposed submission category "Papers of Current Practice." This is intended as an addition to the current submission categories that will allow practitioners and educators to more easily communicate the work they are doing and provide a richer context to understand the breadth of activity taking place in the field. We hope to have a follow up discussion with interest members of the Policy Council on May 4.) Report
Eberlein, Bob (1025) Policy updates to make changes to the nomination process (The attached report shows the recommended changes of the Organization and Bylaws Committee to the constitution of the Nominating Committee and the process for appointing committee members. The changes provide a mechanism for the Policy Council as a whole to complete the nomination process in a timely manner should the Nominating Committee not complete its work by January 15. It also defines the composition of that committee based on actual practice, and places the nomination process for standing committee members on the President, as has been our practice. The home office address, which is no longer valid, has also been removed and effectively left blank until we get proper legal and financial advice on how to proceed. A docx file is attached as supplementary material for the record, and in case anyone wants to make suggestions - editorial or substantive. Updated 9/14/23 with some clarifications and incorporation of comments.) Report Supporting

The second is to make the process used to fill vacant Standing Committee positions more closely conform to practice.) Report
Eberlein, Bob (1039) SDR Submission Categories (Following up on our earlier reports, the Publications Committee has finalized the drafting of the submission categories to include Papers of Practice. The attached report contains descriptions of all the different submission categories, and the language will be reflected in the submission guidelines for the System Dynamics Review. We are now working with the Executive Editor to update the submission site, appoint the appropriate Managing Editors to oversee the new category, and begin welcoming submissions or Papers of Practice. Comments that would help to improve the description of any of the categories are welcome at any time. This report is being submitted simultaneously with a report on updating the editorial appointment and budgeting process which relates to the appointment of one or more new Managing Editors to oversee Papers of Practice. ) Report
Eberlein, Bob (1040) SDR Editorial appointment and budgeting Process (Editors with no specific scheme for period of appointment or rotation. The following report provides guidelines for appointing editors on a rotating basis to clarify expectations and support the orderly transition of Managing Editors. It also removes the burden of appointment and termination from resting solely on the Executive Editor. Because the recommendations require an update to our Policies, we are not making a recommendation for adoption until the Organization and Bylaws Committee and the Finance Committee have had time to review and adjust the Policy change recommendations. That said, the underlying rotational structure is completely consistent with the current Policies, just not required of them.) Report
