I'm inviting you to be on it. Are you inviting me and Lawrence personally to be on the board, or are you suggesting that whoever is the President of the LLG and the director of the KLI should also serve on the board of directors of the LCS? > 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.

I would invite representatives of the Quenya and > Esperanto movements as well, but don't know who would be appropriate. For Esperanto, the most appropriate organisation strikes me as UAE. Though I doubt you will get any response from them, as Esperantists seem to think that Esperanto is sui generis, and they have a similar disdain of artlanging as does the general populace. The relevant Quenya organisation is the Elvish Linguistic Fellowship, http://www.elvish.org/ . Have you been in touch with the Loglan Institute, or the organisations of Volapük and the various Euroclone auxlangs? -- Arnt Richard Johansen http://arj.nvg.org/ "My speech recognition software may have trouble with ordinary words, but not with ketoprofen." --Magnus Itland
