[Lingtyp] ALT Election: Editor for Linguistic Typology

[Good, Jeff]

Dear ALT members,

The ALT Editorial Search Committee has put forth the name of Maria Koptjevskaja Tamm of Stockholm University as the nominee for the next Editor of Linguistic Typology.

The next editor will take over the position from the founding Editor, Frans Plank, who built Linguistic Typology into a top journal and who graciously agreed to extend his time editing the journal for an extra year while the Association took time to search for a new editor.

If you are a current member of ALT, please register your vote for the nominee to altelections2017 at gmail.com by August 8, 2017.

Any clear vote will be counted, but we encourage a message consisting simply of “yes” (if you are in favor of electing Maria Koptjevskaja Tamm as editor), “no” (if you are not in favor), or “abstain” (if you wish to register your participation without making a choice either way).

Best wishes,
Jeff Good, President
Kristine Hildebrandt, Secretary
Dmitry Idiatov, Treasurer
