In the past, when there has been a change in policy, it was announced on this list. While I can see the importance of having an additional person verify copyright info, I wonder why this change was made with no notice. One of the reasons I'm on this list is to avoid missing any new developments. As has already been mentioned, I wonder what will happen, if someone submits a book that no volunteer chooses to validate. As it is, there are a lot of books that have been waiting quite awhile. If this is now a strict rule, I hope it will be added to the submission guidelines right away, so other people won't run into the same situation Laura Ann did.

Sorry you got caught in the winds of change here. I'm pretty sure this must have to do with wanting two people to verify copyright info just to make sure that someone doesn't submit things that can't be accepted and then validate them themselves. It sounds like you've submitted a bunch of nice clean scans and put a lot of work into them, so I'm sure others will enjoy validating them and that they will make the collection soon. Kellie
