No. I said that the 5 years starts when the books are done: >The concept of the freeze is that we will not even take ideas, propose them >or debate them during the time of the freeze (which is open-ended - it is a >5 year MINIMUM in which the 5 years starts only after the books are all >published, which still has not occurred yet). The freeze has already started, but the 5 years has not. The freeze will continue for 5 years and perhaps longer after the books are published. If someone wants to figure out how to make this unambiguously clear in Lojban, it seems appropriate that such a policy be expressed in Lojban as well as in English. lojbab ---- lojbab lojbab@lojban.org Bob LeChevalier, President, The Logical Language Group, Inc. 2904 Beau Lane, Fairfax VA 22031-1303 USA 703-385-0273 Artificial language Loglan/Lojban: http://www.lojban.org
