</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial Unicode MS" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt">taking up Bob's, Mark's and Cathrine's responses to my mail I would like to
propose the following with regard to our Comparative Siouan Grammar
(CSG) project. If this can be agreed upon among the participants of the
conference in Joplin, I would like to volunteer for the organization of the
workshop on CSG in Lincoln,NE next year. </span></font></div>

</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial Unicode MS" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt">Cathrine suggested to spend a full day on the workshop. I think, this might
be very short. In Billings, we had presentation/ papers filling at least two full
days, although the time slots were quite generous, something like 90
minutes per presentation. We can of course shorten that a bit. I attach the
program of the CSG Workshop in Billings as a pdf to this mail. </span></font></div>

<div align="left"><font face="Arial Unicode MS" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt">In Billings, we had a planning session led by Linda Cumberland and John
Boyle. On the huge blackboard there we outlined and summarized the
topics to be included in the projected three volume opus of a CSG. </span></font></div>
