[CoDeP] Committee on Deceptive Publishing

[Marco LiCalzi]

I like “COPS” a lot! Great suggestion.
The acronym sounds tough, while the full name is not harsh.

About the name: I don't have any strong preference over "committee" vs "task force" (though I slightly prefer the former); "deceptive" indeed seems harsh, though I'm not a native speaker, so is just a sensation and don't have a real altetnative. If you want my two cents I propose "Committee On Publishing Standards": while somehow generic, its acronym would give us some authority ;)
