A summary of the many comments Owen Petchey and I have received on our proposal to "privatize" the peer review commons, and our responses, is posted at: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/fix-peer-review/blog
FYI, our proposal is set to be discussed by the Publications Committees of the ESA and the BES. It's early days, but it's looking like the proposal will be seriously considered by those who have the power to implement it.
