ISHL Nominations (again)

[John Charles Smith]

----------------------------Original message----------------------------
Several colleagues have complained that the earlier version of this
message was, variously, 'gibberish', 'garbage', and 'Linear B'!
I don't know what went wrong, as the text sent to HISTLING was
definitely not garbled.  But I'm trying again, with apologies:
a) to those of you who couldn't read the message first time round;
b) to those of you who are getting a second copy of the text.

Best wishes to all, JCS.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR ALL MEMBERS OF THE
INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR HISTORICAL LINGUISTICS

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Several positions in the Society will fall vacant this year, and at the
Business Meeting to be held during the Copenhagen ICHL a vote will
be taken on proposals to fill these vacancies.  I have now heard from
the ISHL Nominating Committee, who have made the following
nominations:

i)  FUTURE PRESIDENT/CONFERENCE DIRECTOR (for 2007)

Lyle Campbell
(University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand)

ii)  MEMBER OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE (to serve until 2009)

Maria Manoliu
(University of California, Davis, U.S.A.)

iii)  MEMBER OF NOMINATING COMMITTEE (to serve until 2011)

Malcolm Ross
(Australian National University, Canberra, Australia)

With these nominations, the composition of the Society's Committees
will be as follows:

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

Co-Presidents and Directors of the 2005 Conference:
Thomas Cravens & Joseph Salmons (Wisconsin-Madison)

Former Conference Director:
Lene Schoesler (Copenhagen)

Secretary:
John Charles Smith (Oxford)

Other Members:
Rosanna Sornicola (Naples), until 2005
Vit Bubenik (Newfoundland), until 2007
Maria Manoliu (Davis), until 2009

NOMINATING COMMITTEE

Chair:
Martin Maiden (Oxford), until 2005

Other Members:
Ans van Kemenade (Nijmegen), until 2007
Concepcion Company Company (Mexico), until 2009
Malcolm Ross (ANU, Canberra), until 2011.

According to the Society's constitution, individual members may also
make nominations.  Should anyone wish to do so, could they please let
both the Secretary (johncharles.smith at stcatz.ox.ac.uk) and the current
President of the Nominating Committee (harold.koch at anu.edu.au)
know as soon as possible, and in any event before 15 July.  Any
nominations would require a proposer, a seconder, and the consent
of the nominee, all of whom should be members of the Society.

I look forward to seeing you in Copenhagen.

All good wishes,

John Charles Smith
Secretary, ISHL
