AMSList Discussion of the NRC Report


This is a complete transcript of the discussion of the NRC's Report as it took place on the Internet mailing list of the American Musicological Society (AMSList, subscribe at listproc@ucdavis.edu), where the va lidity of the whole rating process came under discussion.

Although this mailing list is semi-public, I sought permission from all these individuals correspondents to post this transcript here. All the individuals whose names and words appear have given me their explicit permission to re-publish their words. T he names of those who have not have been taken out of the headers, and their words have been paraphrased.

Beware, however — the document with the message text is over 130K, so it will take a long time to download over a slow connection to the Internet. If your browser doesn't cache downloaded documents, this could be very painful!
