Peterson , Doug Ball , John E Clifford , John Quijada , Matt Pearson , president@lojban.org, lawrence@kli.org Subject: LCS Board of Directors Hello. As part of incorporating the Language Creation Conference into a formal nonprofit organization (California 501(c)(3)), we will need to have a board of directors. I'm inviting you to be on it. The new organization would have as its charter the promotion of conlang*ing* primarily, and conlang*s* secondarily (with no bias for or against any particular language), though all means at its disposal. Primarily this means the LCC and a new cross-conlinguistic journal publication (as per my earlier announcement on CONLANG and ZBB); secondarily it could mean other publications (eg the Conlang Books Project), partnerships with other conlang related organizations, research sponsorship, academic advocacy, grant seeking, etc. It could serve as an umbrella organization to any others with related goals; the KLI and LLG for example are already incorporated, but otherwise would be good subsets of our mission. (Of course, any subsets should operate at a break-even or net gain unless they are critical to the organization's primary goal of promoting conlang*ing*.) I would invite representatives of the Quenya and Esperanto movements as well, but don't know who would be appropriate. The BoD would probably be best at ~9-15 people. Of the BoD (or possibly separately) we would need a few officers - a president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer. It would probably be helpful for those officers to reside in California, but it's not necessary. It can meet by conference (e.g. Skypecast or shared IM of some sort), so distance is not a great issue. John Q, if you're willing, your location (and semipermanence therein) would be potentially helpful to serve as the 'primary office'. I volunteer myself as president & chariman of BoD. The startup costs (about $250 most likely) can be paid for out of the carryover from LCC1. Please let me know your response, - Sai
