The International Lojban Enthusiast Society (le le rolnai lojbo bo nelci jikca)

What's the difference between ILES and ((The Logical Language Group)?

ILES would absolutely not control what the Lojban language _is_. That is an application of language design, math, logic, and the sciences. ILES would solely be in charge of creating the purposes toward which languages are put.

To work effectively as a legally incorporated entity, (The Logical Language Group, Inc.)) can only fit about a couple of dozen ((LLG Members)) and an even smaller Board of Directors. The Bylaws restrict membership to those with certain types of expertise. It is in charge of the language definition and development.

But according to the ((Bylaws of The Logical Language Group, Inc.)), it is tasked with social objectives that are outside the scope of a group so small to do alone. Social functions need to be delegated to a body large enough to be democratic for the community, and large enough to stay active when a dozen members are unavailable for months at a time.

A social function is anything that depends on agreeing to show up at a particular place at a particular time. It would be enhanced by a voting process similar to that of meetup.com.

- Organizing and attending Logfest.
- Scheduling phone chats.
- Scheduling IRC meetups.
- Creating, administering, and playing the Lojban MOO and roleplaying micronation, ((xartum)).
- Chartering branch clubs such as the one in Detroit, and the potential one in California.
- Coordinating collaborators on Lojbanic literary and art projects.

Publishing books would fall under this heading of means to express one's self in Lojban, and so would the e-mail lists and the Lojban website (except for its formal LLG-sanctioned sections which are not open participatory venues) and the ((Lojban podcast)). But these are already being done quite well and do not need to be brought under the umbrella of ILES. They do not depend on agreeing to show up at the same time and place. But they will be the channels of communication through which ILES works.
