Motion: BPFK =
REAUTHORIZATION (Amended)
LLG hereby recommissions BPFK (a.k.a. "banpla =
fuzykamni", "baupla fuzykamni", "byfy") as a standing committee with the =
charge of improving and maintaining formal descriptions of Lojban, =
elaborating undocumented and under-documented language features, =
resolving inconsistencies and errors in existing documentation, and =
responding to issues that arise in usage.

BPFK is expressly empowered to determine its own decision-making process =
and pursue its own agenda within the scope of its charge as specified in =
this charter.

BPFK is authorized to propose standards for the lojban language which =
may include, but are not limited to, lists of words, definitions in =
various languages, human or mechanical specifications of the grammar, =
and instructional or reference texts. BPFK may develop standards =
documents or recognize documents which have been developed by other =
bodies or individuals.

Standard documents may be reported to an Annual Meeting or Special =
Meeting of the membership for ratification by a two-thirds majority of =
the general membership. Once ratified, these may be described as =
"official standards" of LLG. When an Annual Meeting or Special Meeting =
of the membership is not in session, BPFK may seek Board approval of =
standards, which upon such approval, may be described as "interim =
standards".

Upon adoption of this policy, the Annual Meeting of LLG membership will =
hold an election for the office of chair of BPFK. Henceforth, BPFK may, =
in its annual report to the membership, nominate a candidate to serve a =
subsequent term as chair. If such a candidate is reported, LLG =
membership will hold a vote of confidence requiring a simple majority to =
confirm the nomination. If no candidate is nominated by BPFK, or if the =
nominated candidate is not confirmed by the membership, an open election =
will be held by LLG membership. At no time will membership in LLG or =
BPFK be considered a requirement for the position of chair of BPFK.

The natural term of the office of chair of BPFK will begin at the time =
of the confirmation or election at the Annual Meeting and extend to the =
confirmation or election of a chair at the subsequent Annual Meeting, or =
to the adjournment of that meeting if no chair is elected or confirmed. =
Should the chair become vacant for any reason while an Annual Meeting or =
Special Meeting of the membership is not in session, the Board may ask =
the committee to nominate an interim chair to serve the balance of the =
term. Should the committee fail to forward a nominee, or should more =
than one nominee be forwarded, the Board reserves the discretion to =
appoint an interim chair.

In the case that the Annual Meeting of LLG membership fails to confirm =
or elect a chair, the committee will be considered suspended until such =
a time as an interim chair is appointed by the Board, or until the =
election of a new chair at a subsequent Annual Meeting or Special =
Meeting of the membership.

In the case that policies specified in this document are found to =
contradict policies previously established by LLG or its Board of =
Directors, the policies in this document should be held to supplant the =
previous policies.
