Dear ISCA members,

On behalf of the ISCA Board, I would like to encourage you to attend
the ISCA General Assembly which will take place in Makuhari, Japan in
conjunction with INTERSPEECH 2010. The Assembly will begin at 18.15
(6.15 pm) on Tuesday, September 28 and will be held in Hall A/B at
the International Conference Hall. The General Assembly is open to
all members of ISCA and provides an excellent opportunity for you to
actively participate in the meeting and propose suggestions to help
make our association even better.

I would particularly like to draw your attention to item 5 on the
agenda. This item concerns proposed changes to the ISCA Statutes A4.1
and A5.1.

Statute A4.1 restricts ISCA Board membership to no more than two
members per country. Possible changes to this restriction were
discussed at the General Assembly held last year in Brighton, and now
the Board is officially proposing increasing the limit to three
members per country:

Current: ?No more than two members of the Board are permitted from
one country.?

Proposed: ?No more than three members of the Board are permitted
from one country.?

Statute A5.1 specifies the frequency of General Assembly meetings to
once every two years. In practice, the General Assembly now meets at
each Interspeech Conference and therefore the Board proposes the
following change:

Current: ?The General Assembly meets every two years.?

Proposed: ?The General Assembly meets at least every two years.?

On behalf of the ISCA Board, I am looking forward to seeing you in
Makuhari and to your participation in the ISCA General Assembly.

Best regards,

David House

ISCA Secretary
