Toward the end of each month, we get together at a local member's house to prepare the latest issue for mailing. The Posting Party is a good way to get to know people, learn about postal regulations and to eat pizza. No jokes about "going postal,"please!

MPULSE Editorial Policy

The editor of the MPULSE serves at the pleasure of the DAM Steering Committee.

It shall be the responsibility of the Editor to produce a quality, professional newsletter for the benefit of the Dayton Area Mensa members and other subscribers to the publication.

Editorial policy shall be formulated by the Steering Committee and be carried out by the Editor. All responses to editorial policy concerns will come solely from the Steering Committee or a current Committee member.

The policy established by the Steering Committee is as follows:

1. MPULSE solicits contributions from readers. It shall be the Editor's responsibility to edit submissions for reasons of space, grammar, punctuation, and general appropriateness for the publication, and to ensure that the format, tone and cohesiveness of the newsletter will be professional, and will appear as uniform throughout as is practical. The contributor accepts that editorial changes, if any, performed by the Editor are part of the publication process. Courtesy proofing copies of submissions that are edited for the foregoing reasons will be sent to the contributor. If the contributor decides that the article has changed from the intended meaning, s/he may discuss with the Editor and/or request that the article be withheld from publication. This request will be honored by the Editor.
2. In general, letters to the Editor, if deemed appropriate by the Editor, will be presented as written, subject to space considerations. Regional Vice Chair columns, National office communiqués and formal reports issued by the Steering Committee (e.g., Treasurer's Report and Minutes of Steering Committee Meetings) will be formatted for style and edited only as needed for grammar, spelling and punctuation. Essays, such as those submitted for scholarship contests, will be printed as written without editorial changes of any kind. Articles reprinted from other Mensa publications (with permission of the original source, and due credit to the source) will be published as originally supplied.
3. A contributor may request that his/her name be withheld. It will be the Editor's decision to publish the article with the notation "name withheld by request" or to not publish the article.
4. No copyrighted material will be published unless the contributor furnishes proof of copyright ownership or permission of the registered copyright owner.
