I would say (Greg to confirm/deny) that it's OK to submit such clearances, but perhaps wait until November. Maybe mention in one of the notes-to-clearance-team fields that the finished ebook won't be submitted to PG until Jan/2020. DPCanada has a similar general policy. DPCanada/Fadedpage (https://www.fadedpage.com/) should also be checked, just in case the book is already there. (DPC follows Canadian copyright law, not American.) DPC has a copyright clearances spreadsheet (similar to David Price's In-progress list) at: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lU5VeCLMIPhkqqGc-g0iE7Ld5EU5b-sI 7DcoKiUwZPo/pub?output=html Green entries are projects that have been posted to Fadedpage; black ones are active DPC projects. (Be patient--the sheet can take a bit of time to load and respond.)

When can we start submitting clearance requests for "2020" [1924] items -- realizing that these don't actually "clear" until 2020? Thanks, jimad
