ホームページにおける広告などについて話し合われた。

III. Budget
Treasurer, Hiromi Furusawa, was unable to attend themeeting. Hugh reported the LD SIG to be 300,000
yen in the black. Hugh and others suggested thatmoney be spent for events rather than publications as
there is a possibility to obtain funding forpublications from other sources.

Advertising on ld.org site
I. Advertising on ld.org site
Allowing Lexica advertising on ld.org site could
bring LD SIG 30,000 yen per year. Andy Barfieldquestioned whether LD SIG needs the money, andwhether any sort of dependent relationship with afor-profit organization is advisable. The groupagreed to discuss the matter further on–line.

IV. Cooperation with Other Groups
LD SIG is exploring the possibility of collaboration
with other groups to hold the following events:
Kanda University will hold a 1-day miniconference on advising and self-access in October,
2010, and has invited LD SIG to be a sponsor. Amongthe possibilities are for LD to sponsor a speaker orpay for a reception or dinner. [Note from editors: Thisconference has been postponed until 2011 due tounavailability of key speakers].
CUE will not have a mini conference in 2010,
but wants to cooperate with LD and other groups tohold an event in 2011 on the theme of Motivation.
Nakasendo Mini-conference will be held inlate June 2010 in Tokyo or Saitama.The theme is
Reflective Learning: Reflective Teaching.
LD SIG will collaborate with the Frameworkand Language Portfolio SIG to make a joint
contribution at Nakasendo. (See the Looking Ahead
section of this issue for details).
Hugh suggested that a group site be added to the LD
Communications list and a collaborative workspace
be added so that members can discuss these events
further. Ellen Head has been talking with thesegroups, and it is hoped that she will continue to be theliaison for these efforts.

Local Get-together Coordinator - Stacey Vye isstepping down. She will stay on to train the newperson.
International Liaison - Andy Barfield willcontinue as International Liaison.
VII. LL Editorial TeamJim Ronald and Ellen Head are heading theeditorial team. There is a need for a layout person(shadowing role) and a bilingual person in a keyposition. Masako Miyahara suggested that, ideally,three bilingual persons are needed for the editing
team, along with the two chief editors.
Jim would like to step down, so there is a call fora Co-editor.
Alison Stewart will work with Masako Miyahara
to get a team organized to produce the newsletter.
Alison suggested that editors should rotate, threeissues being the term of service.
VIII. International Speakers
Andy Barfield advised LD Sig to avoid sponsoring
the same international speakers. He is concernedthat this practice will lead to a small “in-group” ofspeakers being recycled around the world. Freshperspectives are needed, Asian perspectives inparticular. Andy recommended Angel Lin, City ofHong Kong University professor and editor ofIdentities and Agencies; Decolonization/Globalization, as a potential invited speaker for LL
events.
IX. Miscellaneous
LD SIG Constitution
Hugh was informed that the LD Constitution needs
to be updated to be in compliance with NPO
regulations. Stacey Vye said the Constitution wasupdated and submitted in 2005. She will resurrect
the copy and send to Hugh.
