3. ILFGA NEWS

From Tibor Laczkó:

"I am pleased to announce that Peter Austin has been appointed to the Nominating Committee of ILFGA. He will be replacing One-Soon Her, and we heartily thank One-Soon for her service to the association over the last three years."

------------------------------------------------------------------------

4. CALL FOR BIDS FOR HOSTING LFG18

From Tibor Laczkó, ILFGA Secretary-Treasurer:

"The Executive Committee is inviting bids for hosting LFG18. Given the general practice of ILFGA (rotation among three parts of the world: (i) North and South America; (ii) Europe and Africa; (iii) Asia, Australia, and the Pacific), the locations of previous conferences (from 2011), the locations of LFG15, LFG16, LFG17 (see below), now it is bids from the Americas that should enjoy priority. In case there are no bids from that part of the world, Asia, Australia and the Pacific can have a chance. In addition, if a potential host from a different continent has some specific reasons and arguments for organizing LFG18 that can also be taken into consideration.

LFG conferences:
2011: Hong Kong, Asia
2012: Bali, Indonesia/Australia
2013: Debrecen, Europe
2014: Ann Arbor, America
2015: Tokyo, Asia
2016: Warsaw, Europe
2017: Konstanz, Europe (there were no bids from America)

If you think you might be interested in hosting LFG18 (or indeed any future LFG Conference) please get in touch with me (regardless of your geographical location) at < tibor_laczko "at" yahoo "dot" com >."

------------------------------------------------------------------------

5. DONATIONS TO THE ILFGA

From Tibor Laczkó, ILFGA Secretary-Treasurer:

"This is a reminder that ILFGA invites and thankfully accepts donations for the fundamental purpose of supporting student presenters at our conferences. Donations are typically made during the conferences; however, if you are willing to donate at other times, please contact me at < tibor_laczko "at" yahoo "dot" com > and we will discuss the technicalities."

------------------------------------------------------------------------

6. 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.
