<DIV><BR></DIV>Dear ALT members,<BR><BR>ALT elects a number of new officers
every two years. For 2010, we have to elect two new members of the executive
committee, to replace Balthasar Bickel and Sasha Aikhenvald, whose term ends
this year, and two new members of the editorial board of LT, to replace
Johanna Nichols and Alice Harris, whose term also ends this year. We take this
opportunity to thank Balthasar, Sasha, Johanna and Alice for their work in the
executive committe and the board of the journal. <BR><BR>The president, Anna
Siewierska, has asked the nominating committee to prepare a slate for the
elections. Now members have the chance to cast their vote. They are invited to
either approve of the entire slate or to approve or disapprove of part of the
slate.<BR><BR>Assuming that you are a member, please return your ballot to
