TISLR8 2002 - HELP!

[Russell Scott Rosen]

I think it would be difficult to host TISLR for July or August 2002
because of the Deaf WayII Conference at Gallaudet which includes sessions
on sign language. Can we just move it one year, to 2003? That way, people
will save enough money to attend the conference.

We at Teachers College, Columbia University would like to host the TISLR
Conference in 2003 if its okay by you all.
