1. Results of the ILFGA Executive Committee elections

From George Aaron Broadwell:

The secretary/treasurer of ILFGA is pleased to announce that Rachel Nordlinger 
and Josef van Genabith have been elected to the ILFGA Executive Committee.  
Congratulations to both of them, and thanks for their willingness to serve our 
association!

2. Students' work

There are several ways in which students can let the LFG community learn more 
about their work.


2.1 MA/PhD Publications in the LFG Bulletin

In each bulletin, details of student theses and dissertations of interest to 
the LFG community appear in the Publications section. Students and their 
supervisors are encouraged to email the Bulletin Maintainer (Louise.Mycock /at/ 
ling-phil.ox.ac.uk) with the relevant information.


2.2 Dissertation Session at the LFG Conference

At the annual LFG conference, students are given the chance to present recent 
PhD dissertations (or other student research dissertations). The dissertations 
must be completed by the time of the conference, and they should be made 
publicly accessible (e.g., on the World Wide Web). Each talk should provide an 
overview of the main original points of the dissertation.
Students should note that the main sessions of the conference are also open to 
student submissions.

3. 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.

5. BOILERPLATE

The boilerplate (standard text) which previously appeared at the end of every 
bulletin can be accessed at:

section.
