Governance and the not-for-profit publisher

[Joseph Esposito <espositoj@gmail.com>]

I just wrote a blog post, "Governance and the Not-for-profit 
Publisher." It's at the Scholarly Kitchen:

http://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2011/10/24/governance-and-the-not-for-profit-publisher/

This is a topic that I have been thinking about for some time 
now: Why is it that despite the huge number of NFP publishers in 
scholarly communications, the field is nonetheless dominated by a 
small number of commercial enterprises?  Someone is doing 
something right, and someone is doing something wrong, but what 
that something is is elusive.

There no doubt are other explanations for this riddle.  I would 
be very much interested to hear them.
