[Corpora-List] Proposal for initiating a global non continentalArabic Language Academy

[Waleed Oransa]

Hello Hamed,

This is great idea if we could implement it properly. First this need
a fund, regular meeting, process and may be the meetings can be done
most of time online with one or two yearly conference.

If we can resolve the fund issue, I expect this to be like the way the
Islamic Research Council (IRC) of Al-Azhar established in its early
days where the membership was open to all respectable scholars from
any Muslim country. This one of the reason it was really scientific
and independent and successful. The always focus on one issue, ask
participants to prepare a research in this issue and then meet in a
conference to discuss these research and convince each other with the
solution or opinion (Fatwa) then they vote. If the voting results was
"consensus" they close the issue and get a new one on table, othewise
they continue doing more research. I think this will be a useful case
study although it has a different focus, Also it may need to
improvement to allow young and public review and participants (to some
degree).

Regarding the membership and name of this organization, I would
suggest it to be named "The International Academy of Arabic Language"
and let it open to people who are excellent in Arabic and who really
motivated to let Arabic back to be the language of science, education
and culture.

Let's us know the steps needed to establish it.

Waleed
