Re: [lojban] Revitalizing LLG: Suggestions for the 2014 annual meeting

Could you remind in two-three sentences of the procedure and requirements of applying new members?

After researching those questions a few weeks ago, I added this to the wiki:

( http://www.lojban.org/tiki/The+Logical+Language+Group#Becoming_a_member )

Becoming a member

According to the bylaws, "persons may be named members upon recommendation for membership by any member and by election by a majority of all the members of the Corporation, in person or by proxy." 

The bylaws specify the following qualifications:

• competence in fields including linguistics, psychology, philosophy, logic, mathematics, computer science, anthropology, sociology, education, and human biology
• high personal dedication to the purposes of The Logical Language Group as specified in the bylaws  

At the 2011 annual meeting, lojbab proposed the following criteria by which prospective members may be deemed eligible to join the organization as voting members:

1. Working on a project for an extended period of time, especially one requiring coordination with other lojbanists
2. Assumption of responsibility for non-language chores, such as web site maintenance
3. Activity promoting lojban or recruiting lojbanists, such as presenting or teaching the language
4. Being familiar with the bylaws, and taking the initiative to ask for membership at a meeting
5. Participating in a meeting as a non-voting member

The proposal and approval of new members is one of the items of regular business at each annual meeting.
