<div>Dear Boris,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am not sure that I understand the exact nature of your message, but I will respond by stressing that the TISLR 12 Scientific Committee (i.e., those who will review all submissions for the TISLR 12 conference) includes scholars that come from a wide range
of theoretical perspectives and approaches within sign language research. We have tried to ensure that there are researchers working in institutions on almost every continent, and a mix of Deaf and hearing men and women, as well as early career researchers
and more senior colleagues. We have stated clearly in the calls what the criteria are that will be used by members of the Scientific Committee to evaluate abstracts. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As the secretary of the Sign Language Linguistics Society (SLLS) Board, I can say that if you or other SLLS members have concerns about any of these issues, please have them added to the agenda for the next General Meeting of the SLLS in Melbourne so it
can be discussed by the Board and SLLS members. If you are unable to attend, then please write to the SLLS Board directly or have a trusted colleague who will be in attendance speak to it at the meeting in Melbourne.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>TISLR is the important conference in our field, so it is really vital that we do not allow any perception of theoretical bias to get in the way of a productive and stimulating meeting. I hope we can work together to overcome your concerns.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best wishes,</div>
<div>Adam</div>
