Add a figure with a caption. This could be a figure from your previous work or a picture of you in Hawaii.
Do you want to specify that the license should be permissive enough to allow this re-use?

The CS would perform document conversion to ease viewing and searching for material, thereby accelerating new discoveries.
It's hard for me to understand why a central service is going to be more innovative in this area. This also seems to be something that would be more within the purview of a journal.

The CS/Governance Body will work with universities and funders to apply uniform standards of author identity, checks for plagiarism, moderation of problems, and create ethical guidelines for research and disclosure
- Author identity seems easy & makes sense.
- Plagiarism checks seem like they might better be the purview of a journal. If someone wants to use their preprint for something, that seems like the time for a check to come in.
- Moderation of problems is a bit confusing. I'm not sure what it refers to and would have trouble commenting.
- Does this mean something above and beyond the standard for publication, or does this mean applying the standard for publication in this domain?

Scientists want their preprint to “count” for hiring, promotions, and grant applications.
Scientists want their research to count. The only way I can really see a preprint counting is if people read it. I think that having a public document that we can point to in our promotion & tenure docs/etc is more important than some idea that it's an 'official' preprint.
-
rchiving content through a CS better assures permanence of the scientific record, even if a preprint server/publisher decides to discontinue their services.
What are the current standards for preservation and how does this proposal differ? I am under the impression that to get the ability to mint DOIs there must be some sort of plan in place. Does this go above and beyond that?
-
The CS would become the location for scientists to search for all new pre-peer reviewed content.
Is this thing a gateway or a gatekeeper? This makes it sound more like a gatekeeper a la a regular journal. Would the journals be as accepting of preprint servers if this happened? This seems to step on their business model much more than the current standard.

services (such as archiving, automated screening, and document conversion)
Are they going to provide services or the software underlying those services? If they promote high-quality open source software, then it seems like the physical infrastructure is less important than the software.

Clarity on what qualifies as a respected preprint
Why should we respect a preprint? I'm not sure that we should respect anonymously peer reviewed journal articles as much as we do. It's important to remain critical, and I worry that trying to put a veneer of 'respectability' over preprints is not as helpful as expecting people to read them to judge content.
