LCS Advisory Committee

[Taronyu]

Thought some of you might like to see this.

=======

The Language Creation Society (LCS) would like to announce the creation of a new advisory committee. The advisory committee will be a group of individuals (conlangers or non-conlangers) who'd like to provide input to the LCS Board on LCS activities impacting the greater conlanging community. The charge of the advisory committee would be to discuss overarching policy decisions, large-scale projects, and the general direction of the LCS. Day-to-day operations of the society (eg, maintenance of the website, adding new blogs to the Conlang Blog Aggregator, etc.) would be handled by the officers and Board. You don't need to be an LCS member, or even necessarily an active conlanger. All you need is an interest in helping to inform the LCS and help it to better serve the greater conlanging community.

If this sounds like something with which you'd like to be involved, we'd like to hear from you. If you're interested in joining the advisory committee, send an e-mail to [email protected]. Let us know what portion of the community you're from, and what your user name there is (if applicable). The committee will communicate via a mailman listserv, so we will need your e-mail address, but other than that, anyone can participate.

If you'd like more detailed information about the advisory committee, go to http://conlang.org/adcom.php.

In other LCS news, we have recently changed leadership and added several new board members:

President: David Peterson (creator of Dothraki)
Treasurer: Sylvia Sotomayor (creator of Kelen)

Secretary: Don Boozer (creator of Dritok)

New Board Members: Alex Fink (co-creator of the Gripping Language), Doug Ball (creator of Skerre), Richard Littauer (Founder of Dothraki.org, uh...me), and John Quijada (creator of Ithkuil)
