I don't believe there is anything preventing a tech review board member
from being a a review board for two differnet magazines. These are not
political positions, they are technical positions. There should be nothing
preventing AC from asking the same people that AW has to also review the
articles it puts together. Nor should their be anything preventing those
same people from accepting similar duties with another magazine. I know
there was no contract signed forbidding me from reviewing an article in
any other magazine, as a matter of fact I would refuse to sign such a thing.
Review board members are not there to endorse the magazine, they are their
to improve the contents of the magazine.
