ISHL nominations

[Dorothy Disterheft]

Dear colleagues,

The International Society for Historical Linguistics (ISHL) will hold
the XIV. Conference on Historical Linguistics (ICHL) next August. At the
business meeting, ISHL members will elect members of the Nominating
Committee and the Executive Committee, in addition to the 2003 ICHL venue.
This is a call for nominations.

The following four positions need to be filled:

Member, Executive Committee (until 2005)
Member, Nominating Committee (until 2007)
Member, Nominating Committee (until 2003)

Future Conference Director (to host the 2003 ICHL)

You may nominate either yourself or someone else. However, anyone who is
nominated must make a committment to attend the majority of the ICHLs
during the term of office.

The Nominating Committee will give highest priority to nominations
which result in the gender and geographic balance of the committee in
question.

Please send your nominations to Marianne Mithun, chair, Nominating
Committee:  mithun at humanitas.ucsb.edu
