Dear Friends and Colleagues,

I circulated the message below to the Histling list ten days ago.
I know that some of you received it -- but it has recently come to my
attention that several of you did not.  I have no idea why, although Claire
pointed out that there was a problem with my email address (since 
resolved), so I infer that this may have something to do with it.  Anyway, 
as the announcement is important, I am taking the liberty of resending it, 
with my apologies both to those of you who are receiving it for a second 
time and to those who did not get the original mailing.

All good wishes,

John Charles Smith

IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR ALL MEMBERS OF THE
INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR HISTORICAL LINGUISTICS

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Several positions in the Society will fall vacant this year, and at the 
Business Meeting to be held during the Montreal ICHL a vote will 
be taken on proposals to fill these vacancies.  I have now heard from 
the ISHL Nominating Committee, who have made the following 
nominations:

i)  FUTURE PRESIDENT/CONFERENCE DIRECTOR (for 2011)

Ritsuko Kikusawa
(National Museum of Ethnology, Osaka, Japan)

ii)  MEMBER OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE (to serve until 2013)

Alan Dench
(University of Western Australia, Perth, WA, Australia)

iii)  MEMBER OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE (to serve until 2011)

Elly van Gelderen
(Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ, USA)

Note:  If elected until i) above, Ritsuko Kikusawa will resign as an Ordinary 
Member of the Executive Committee, on which she was due to serve for 
the next four years.  Conditional upon that election, the Nominating 
Committee is therefore nominating Elly van Gelderen to replace her 
for the period in question.

iv)  MEMBER OF NOMINATING COMMITTEE (to serve until 2015)

Bridget Drinka
(University of Texas, San Antonio, TX, USA)

Note:  At our last meeting (Madison, WI, 2005), Bridget Drinka was elected to a 
two-year term on the Nominating Committee in order to act as its Chair in place 
of Ans van Kemenade, who had resigned from this office upon being elected 
Future Conference Director.  The Constitution forbids the immediate re-election 
of those who have served a full term as Ordinary Members of any committee 
of the Society; however, it does permit the immediate re-election of members 
who have been elected for only a partial term.  The Nominating Committee is 
therefore now recommending that Bridget Drinka be re-elected for a full term.

v)  SECRETARY

The Nominating Committee proposes that John Charles Smith 
(University of Oxford, U.K.) should continue to serve as Secretary of 
the Society.

With these nominations, the composition of the Society's Committees
will be as follows:

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

President and Director of the 2009 Conference:
Ans van Kemenade (Nijmegen)

Future Conference Director (2011)
Ritsuko Kikusawa (Osaka)

Former Conference Director:
Fernande Dupuis (Montreal)

Secretary:
John Charles Smith (Oxford)

Other Members:
Maria Manoliu (Davis), until 2009
Elly van Gelderen (Tempe), until 2011
Alan Dench (Perth), until 2013

NOMINATING COMMITTEE

Chair:
Concepcion Company Company (Mexico), until 2009

Other Members:

Malcolm Ross (Canberra), until 2011
David Willis (Cambridge), until 2013 
Bridget Drinka (San Antonio), until 2015.

According to the Society's Constitution, individual members may also 
make nominations.  Should anyone wish to do so, could they please let
both the Secretary (johncharles.smith@stcatz.ox.ac.uk) and the current 
Chair of the Nominating Committee (bridget.drinka@utsa.edu) 
know as soon as possible, and in any event before 1 July.  Nominations 
require the signatures of six proposers and the written consent of the nominee.  
The nominee and all of the proposers should be members of the Society.

I look forward to seeing you in Montreal.

All good wishes,

John Charles Smith
Secretary, ISHL
