Given that language revival and maintenance are undertheorised and no "proven methods" exist, I wonder who is specifying this "Framework" and what it might look like.

Senator George Brandis, Minister for the Arts, today issued a press release outlining changes to the Indigenous Languages Support Program. See
<a href="http://www.attorneygeneral.gov.au/Mediareleases/Pages/2015/FirstQuarter/31-March-2015-Improvements-to-Indigenous-Arts,-Languages-and-Culture-Funding-Programs.aspx" target="_blank">
http://www.attorneygeneral.gov.au/Mediareleases/Pages/2015/FirstQuarter/31-March-2015-Improvements-to-Indigenous-Arts,-Languages-and-Culture-Funding-Programs.aspx</a><br><br>
According to the press release, the new Indigenous Languages and Arts program will fund organisations that support the revival and maintenance of Indigenous languages, and provide career opportunities and pathways for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander language
workers. Operational funds for art and languages centres and service delivery organisations will be delivered through targeted grants (direct offers) from 1 July 2015.<br><br>
In addition to Senator Brandis' press release the Indigenous Languages Support web site has already been modified to become Indigenous Languages and Arts. See
<a href="http://arts.gov.au/topics/indigenous-arts-languages-and-culture/indigenous-languages-and-arts" target="_blank">
http://arts.gov.au/topics/indigenous-arts-languages-and-culture/indigenous-languages-and-arts</a>.
<br><br>
The web site includes more details on the changes. The FAQ page <a href="http://arts.gov.au/topics/indigenous-arts-languages-and-culture/frequently-asked-questions" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">
http://arts.gov.au/…/indigenous-…/frequently-asked-questions</a> provides some detail on the process of direct offers to be made to targetted organisations, and the application process that will open later for language projects.<br><br></div>
We understand that guidelines are likely to be finalised and released in the next couple of weeks.<br><br></div>
