3. LFG2017 conference at University of Konstanz

From Kersti Börjars, Chair of the ILFGA Executive Committee, on behalf of the ILFGA committee:

In line with the tradition of rotating the conference between continents, LFG2017 should be held in North America. However, no offers of hosting were made at last year's meeting and having contacted some potential host institutions, we conclude that there is no suitable place there to host the conference next year. For this reason, we have accepted the generous offer made by Konstanz to organise the LFG conference for a second time (thanks Miriam and colleagues!). Exact dates to be confirmed.

It does look like there is a possibility of a North American LFG conference in 2018, but more about that at a later stage.

4. Drafts for comments

'Drafts for comments' offers bulletin readers the opportunity to submit information about drafts or projects on which they would like to receive comments from the community. This brings work in progress to the attention of the community and plays some of the role that previous incarnations of the archive played.

Please submit basic article/project information and (a) a URL if the item is available online or else (b) your contact email.
