Read message from Robert A. McIvor (CEO of Loglan Institute):
|tene
 
|ju'o sai
"Because of the baselining of Lojban, I do not see any likelihood of any fusion of the two groups in the short term.  Most new members we are getting are aware of Lojban, and have chosen Loglan for one reason or another.  When I get queries about the differences, I try to be quite objective, and I would hope that [[jbocre: LLG|LLG]] would, in like circumstances, present Loglan as it is today, and not as it once was.
|100%.
 
|-
As for long term prospects, I am not sure that either shows great promise, but I would have to concede that, as of today, Lojban has better prospects."

* MOVED: That we institute official [[jbocre: LLG|LLG]] projects as proposed above - PASSED [[jbocre: as see Amendment a and Friendly Amendment b|as see Amendment a and Friendly Amendment b]]
* Amendment a [[jbocre: not accepted as a friendly amendment|not accepted as a friendly amendment]]: That the initiators mail the request to both webmaster and president, and if there is no response from the Board in an agreed-upon time frame it will mean it's automatically added to the official project list as official by default - PASSED AS AMENDED by friendly amendment b, without objection.
 
Discussion:
 
"reasonable" would be 1 month.
 
Availability of deferral requested by Board. Notation that official by default.
 
[[User:John Clifford for record|John Clifford for record]]: vitally needed
 
[[jbocre: Robin Powell for record|Robin Powell for record]]: if amend never used, will offer public apology & vote to withdraw amendment at next meet.
 
* Friendly amendment b [[jbocre: to Friendly amendment a|to Friendly amendment a]]: replace "official by default" with "no objection" and include availability of deferral if board asks. - ACCEPTED
* MOVED: To give the President discretion to change the status of any and all committees to projects without consulting the Board to discharge the committee, and to identify the resulting project as private or public listing. - PASSED without objection.
 
* MOVED: That as of the year 2005 and after, all official [[jbocre: LLG|LLG]] business must be discussed in lojban (where "official [[jbocre: LLG|LLG]] business" is Board and [[jbocre: LLG|LLG]] member meetings) and that there be a strong preference that all official business be available in lojban (perhaps in addition to other languages) - PASSED AS REPLACED by Amendment b as modified by Friendly Amendment b2
 
Note: there was much discussion.  The final vote was 16 in favor, 5 opposed.  Amendment c was defeated narrowly.
 
* Amendment a: Institute only after 2 consecutive meetings of less than 2 hours - FAILED for lack of second
* Amendment b: That instead, starting next year, all official meetings of [[jbocre: LLG|LLG]] members and board be officially bi-lingual (may speak in either English or lojban) with translation by request of any member, and that it will be an old business item each year to discuss further conversion to preference for lojban during business matters. - PASSED as amended [[jbocre: in Friendly Amendment b2]]
 
* Amendment b1 [[jbocre: to Amendment b|to Amendment b]]: That meetings be bilingual, but motions and amendments be recorded in lojban - TABLED to next year.
* Friendly Amendment b2 [[jbocre: to Amendment b|to Amendment b]]: Append "but are encouraged to speak in lojban" to "may speak in either English or lojban" - ACCEPTED
 
* Amendment c [[jbocre: to Amendment b|to Amendment b]]: That all motions and amendments must be officially stated and recorded in lojban starting 2005 - FAILED.
* MOVED: To begin to put any official lojban items on web into lojban (and perhaps English, but not necessary) as soon as possible - PASSED AS AMENDED
 
* Friendly Amendment: not "as soon as possible", but "as resources allow" - ACCEPTED
 
Delegating paperwork.
 
[[jbocre: Robin Powell|Robin Powell]] offered to pay for up to $500/yr for a paperwork worker (if starts occurring within 6 months). Bob means to implement accounting package and to convert data (address list & accounts). [[User:John Clifford|John Clifford]] pledged some backup after the initial amount from Robin. Small but non-zero possibility that Robin will not have job, however.
 
Bob: paperworker would have to be hired as independent contractor.
 
* MOVED: To approve hiring of worker for paperwork on accounts and address list, as discussed above - PASSED
 
Flyers:
 
Address on flyer should have separate e-mail address so we can identify responses from flyers.
 
* MOVED: That [[jbocre: LLG|LLG]] be favorable to Jay's on-line collaborative dictionary - PASSED
* MOVED: To Commend [[jbocre: Robin Powell|Robin Powell]] for exceptional efforts in converting the [[jbocre: LLG|LLG]] site, and for exceeding expectations on presentation to public - PASSED.
 
* MOVED: To express thanks to [[User:Nick Nicholas|Nick Nicholas]] and Robin Turner for their work on the textbook - PASSED
 
Next Logfest: The intention is to hold it the last weekend in July
 
Meeting adjourned approximately 1:40 PM EDT.
