  • IGLC Conference Information: Organizers of the current IGLC conference may distribute details about the event, including calls for papers and registration information.
  • Non-IGLC Announcements: IGLC members may request the moderator to post community-relevant announcements, including:
    • Memorials: Tributes to honor deceased members who made significant contributions to the community.
    • Event Announcements: Events of potential interest to the IGLC community, provided they meet the following criteria:

Other types of announcements are subject to individual review by the IGLC Moderator. Each announcement should include a brief explanation of its relevance to the IGLC community.
