<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">1. IGALA welcomes the formation of local (e.g. national) branches and local IGALA events, for the following reasons:</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"> </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 72pt; text-indent: -45pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Symbol;" lang="EN-GB"><span>·<span style="font: 7pt/normal "Times New Roman"; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;">
</span></span></span><span lang="EN-GB">this is likely to increase interest in the language and gender field</span></p>

</span></span></span><span lang="EN-GB">it is also likely to increase interest in and awareness of IGALA, and hence boost membership</span></p>

</span></span></span><span lang="EN-GB">it will allow direct participation in IGALA for those who cannot attend IGALA conferences (or who have to miss some)</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 27pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"> </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">At the same time, IGALA is concerned that local branches and local events will be consistent with the objectives and principles of IGALA.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"> </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">2. One member of the IGALA Executive/Advisory Committee will have special responsibility for overseeing local branches and local IGALA events. The person responsible for overseeing local branches
and local events is Merecedes Bengoechea. She should among other things meet with local branch organisers at the biennial IGALA conference, and could offer assistance in reviewing papers submitted for presentation at local events such as seminars or workshops
(see (4) below). Requests for starting a local branch or organising local events should be submitted to her, who will take your request forward.)</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"> </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">3. Local branches and local events will be proposed by IGALA members ‘on the ground’ (i.e. not by the Executive/Advisory Committee).</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"> </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-GB">Local events</span></b></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"> </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">4. Local events can be workshops, seminars or meetings but should not be referred to as ‘IGALA Conferences’. Local languages are welcome in those events if this may foster local participation.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"> </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">5. Attendees at a local IGALA conference needn’t be members of IGALA, although the organiser of a local event is expected to encourage participants to join IGALA.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"> </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">6. The organiser of a local event should submit a report of that event to IGALA.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"> </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">7. A local event would be expected to be organised in conjunction with the local branch, if any. For example, if IGALA members in a certain country wished to organise a workshop, where there
is also an IGALA branch in that country, the workshop should be organised in association with the branch.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"> </span></p>

<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"> </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">9. Local branches should submit a report of their activities annually; these reports would be reviewed at the annual IGALA (e-) Business meeting.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"> </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-GB">General</span></b></p>

<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">10. Anyone who wishes to start a local branch or organise a local event must be a paid-up member of IGALA in good standing. She (or he) should start by contacting Mercedes Bengoechea (<a href="mailto:mercedes.bengoechea@uah.es"><font color="#0000ff"></a><a href="mailto:mercedes.bengoechea@uah.es">mercedes.bengoechea@uah.es</font></a>),
providing a description of and rationale for the branch/event, including details of activities, structure and organisation (and, in the case of an IGALA event, the topic or focus) and should include likely participants. The description should also include
likely benefits.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"> </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">11. Mercedes Bengoechea will act as a link between the IGALA Executive/Advisory board and the local branch/event. She will bring the application to the attention of the Executive/Advisory
Board. This could be done at any time.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"> </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">12. All reports (from 6 and 9) should be posted on the IGALA website.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"> </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">13. IGALA is currently unable to provide financial support for local branches and events, but will work towards providing information about other possible sources of finance.</span></p>
