[John Charles Smith]

IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR ALL MEMBERS OF THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR HISTORICAL LINGUISTICS

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Several positions in the Society will fall vacant this year, and at the Business Meeting to be held during the Santiago ICHL a vote will be taken on proposals to fill these vacancies.  I have now heard from the ISHL Nominating Committee, who have made the following nominations:

i)  FUTURE PRESIDENT / CONFERENCE DIRECTOR (for 2029)

Eugenio Ramón Luján Martínez
(Universidad Complutense de Madrid)

ii)  MEMBER OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE (to serve until 2031)

Martin Joachim Kümmel
(Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena)

iii)  MEMBER OF NOMINATING COMMITTEE (to serve until 2033)

Barbara Meisterernst
(National Tsing Hua University, Hsinchu)

iv)  SECRETARY

As members will be aware, I announced some time ago that I would be stepping down as Secretary at the Santiago meeting.  The Nominating Committee proposes Chiara Gianollo (Università di Bologna) as the new Secretary of the Society.

With these nominations, the composition of the Society's Committees will be as follows:

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

President and Director of the 2027 Conference:
Þórhallur Eyþórsson (Reykjavík)

Future President and Conference Director (2029):

Former Conference Director:

Chiara Gianollo (Bologna)

Other Members:

NOMINATING COMMITTEE

Other Members:

According to the Society's Constitution, individual members may also make nominations.  Should anyone wish to do so, could they please let both the Secretary (johncharles.smith at stcatz.ox.ac.uk) and the current Chair of the Nominating Committee (R.Mailhammer at westernsydney.edu.au) know by email as soon as possible, and in any event before 15 July.  Nominations will require the signatures of six proposers and the written consent of the nominee.  The nominee and all of the proposers should be members of the Society.

I look forward to seeing you in Santiago.

All good wishes,

John Charles Smith
Secretary, ISHL
