Venue for ICHL 2017

[David Willis]

The ISHL nominating committee expects to make a recommendation to the 
Society by the end of April regarding the venue of the 23rd 
International Conference on Historical Linguistics in 2017. Formally 
this is done by nominating an individual from that institution as 
President of the Society/Conference Director for 2017. Historical 
linguists are therefore invited to consider whether they would like to 
host the conference at their institution and submit nominations if they 
are interested.

A formal proposal to host the conference requires a brief (one-page) 
statement describing the suitability of the institution/city and the 
proposed conference arrangements, and a formal letter of support from a 
senior administrator at the University stating that the institution is 
happy to host the conference (a financial guarantee is not required). 
Formal proposals should be sent to myself as Chair of the Nominating 
Committee, copied to JC Smith <johncharles.smith at stcatz.ox.ac.uk> as 
Secretary of the Society by the end of March. We have received several 
expressions of interest to date; any institution that has not yet made 
us aware of its intention to bid should establish informal contact 
before then.

Since the 2013 conference will be in Oslo, and the 2015 conference in 
Naples, the committee has expressed the wish to hold the 2017 conference 
outside of Europe. Previous and forthcoming venues this century are 
listed below:

      2001  Melbourne, Vic.  (XV)  (Barry Blake)
      2003  Copenhagen  (XVI)  (Lene Schøsler)
      2005  Madison, Wisc.  (XVII)  (Thomas Cravens & Joseph Salmons)
      2007  Montréal, Qué.  (XVIII)  (Fernande Dupuis)
      2009  Nijmegen  (XIX)  (Ans van Kemenade)
      2011  Osaka  (XX)  (Ritsuko Kikusawa)
      2013  Oslo  (XXI)  (Dag Trygve Truslew Haug)
      2015  Naples  (XXII)  (Michela Cennamo)

Best wishes

David Willis (Chair of the NominatingCommittee, International Society 
for Historical Linguistics)
