<div>Dear Steve -</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for drawing our attention to this; surely it will be very important. But the document is of course overwhelming, and there's no guidance on it posted on the AAA website ( I assume the 2011 AAA comment can't be taken to correspond to the document
at hand now.) Can you or your committee provide any sense of what sections linguistic anthropologists in particular should look at, or how we might be affected – positively or negatively?</div>

<div>Dear all,</div>
<div>I am writing as chair of the American Anthropology Association’s Committee on Ethics and the linguistic anthropology representative on the committee to ask all of us to take a look at the most recent Ethics Blog post. The post overviews proposed changes
to national IRB rules/ regulations. This represents an opportunity for the AAA to make an impact on regulations that could make research either much easier or much more difficult for anthropologists. Please read the blog, look at the information, and send
in your comments. Linguistic anthropologists’ perspectives are needed! Here is a link to the blog:</div>
