Hoi logli,
I have conferred with the management of the Institute and find that I do have authority to do this, so...
I am appointing Cyril Slobin and John Cowan to the Loglan Academy (la Keugru), and they have accepted. I am a member ex officio as the chief executive officer (la Cefli, in Loglan, soi crano). Decisions of the Academy will be by majority vote; as CEO I have a veto though I expect not to use it often if at all. I hope that decisions will in fact be reached slowly and by consensus.
The Academy is considering a further nomination or two, and members of the last incarnation of la Keugru are welcome to continue to sit if so inclined. Please contact me if you are in this category.
I will write some kind of document governing the work of the Academy, but in general terms its responsibility is making or overseeing decisions about the official definition of the language (grammar and dictionary work) and matters related to its own membership (further members will be elected by the Academy, not appointed by me).
The Membership (the members of the loglanists list and anyone else who considers themselves a loglanist) are also an important (an indispensible!) part of the process of doing Loglan. Please continue to fill the List and the mailboxes of individual members of the Academy with your suggestions and your Loglan chatter (we would like to hear more of that!)
