The '''Editorial Review Board''' or ('''ERB''') is [[Directory:Centiare|Centiare's]] official sanctioning body that determines whether, and which, '''[[Centiare:Main Space|Main Space]]''' articles are to be '''''protected and promoted''''', that is, attributed to the respective copyright holder(s).  The ERB currently consists of the two co-developers of Centiare, plus one additional member who serves as a tie-breaking vote, if necessary.  These three members will serve until the end of 2007, after which they hope to be replaced by more credentialed professional editors and/or scholars.

==Benefits for winners==

An article selected for recognition by the ERB will incorporate a [[Relation:Has Contributor|semantic tag]] to record and relate the work to the pertinent author's '''[[Centiare:Directory Space|Directory Space]]'''  listing. We hope that this will bring the author(s) the added fame of being contacted by reporters, bloggers, scholars, and other interested parties who wish to learn more about the subject.  As with any '''[[Centiare:Main Space|Main Space]]''' article, the author is welcome to use [[Directory:Amazon.com/Associates|Amazon.com Associates]] links to identify their reference sources.  No other advertising should be deployed.
