The last I heard was that this post was awaiting Moderator Approval! Has the post been put on ILDS?

I don't think the ILDS can ever regain its rich, often focussed exchanges any more if it it uses Facebook or Twitter. I use both but don't regard them as vehicles  for the kind of discursive discussions we had - but have no longer had for a long time - on the ILDS Discussion Forum.

I agree. I don't do Facebook or Twitter and, for a couple of years now, have noticed virtually no activity on the listserv, so had no idea what was going on. Just assumed an absence of activity. Very much missed the camaraderie, too. Didn't realize ILDS communication was by social media these days!

Hello Marc, I did not see an answer to your question so I thought I would venture one:

 

This ILDS email list you subscribe to is the 'listserv' - and we also mentioned Twitter, which is a worldwide social media platform. You can find the ILDS Twitter feed here:

 

https://twitter.com/DurrellSociety

 

and easily 'follow' it by signing up on Twitter. However, I don't think either Twitter or Facebook has been able to replace the conversation and camaraderie that first attracted me to the ILDS via the old listserv. Can the new officers please address this: what can we do to bring excitement and joie de vivre back into the organization?

 

Cheers - Ken

Am surprised to see ILDS and other lists mentionned in this message. As a subscriber, this is the firrst I have heard of this. surely there is a rupture in communications somewhere or maybe it is volontary!!!!

Can someone please clarify?

Hi Bruce and Ken, 

The conference was a pleasure to host, and I have to give thanks to FDU-Vancouver for the generous use of the facilities.  I also hope we can see both Twitter and the listserv being useful, which I think was the expressed desire of the membership in Vancouver. 

The membership unanimously approved the nominations committee's recommended slate of candidates for the ILDS Board (and all past presidents are also ex-officio members): 

Linda Rashidi - President 
James Clawson - Vice President 
Paul Lorenz - Secretary/Treasurer 

At-large: 
Charles Sligh 
Pamela Francis 
Corinne Alexandre-Garner 

I'll let the incoming board make the official announcement to the membership directly, but I do want to extend my thanks to everyone who served on the nominations committee and who formed a part of "my" board for the past four years -- thank-you all.  Your help was immeasurable. 

All best, 
James

Very good Bruce - I wish I could have been there. Best wishes to 
everyone in the ILDS. Did I hear correctly that Anne Zahlan will be the 
next president? Congratulations Anne! 

I would like to see more communication via this listserv. I am a big fan 
of Twitter, but I am not logged-in all the time (to say the least!) and 
it's very easy to miss individual tweets. I never miss these ILDS 
e-mails and read every one. 

Cheers - Ken

    My compliments to the organizers of OMG XVIII in Vancouver, BC. 
      Much credit goes to James Gifford, whose campus at FDU hosted the 
    conference.  I found the proceedings both enlightening and 
    enjoyable.  All the speakers and presenters did an excellent job.  I 
    especially enjoyed Ian MacNiven's keynote address.  It is 
    particularly enjoyable to think of the /Quartet/ as a string 
    quartet, thanks to Kiyoko Magome, and to think about the source of 
    Durrell's recipes of French cuisine in the /Quintet,/ thanks to 
    Merrianne Timko. 

    Best wishes, 

    Bruce
