LgPolicy-list

LgPolicy-list  is the forum of the Consortium for Language Policy and Planning . It is run by Hal Schiffman (prof. emeritus at Univ. of Pennsylvania), and was set up in 2001 to disseminate "information about language policy issues, about the activities of [the CLPP] and other similarly-oriented programs and centers."

The recent list archives  are browsable and searchable online. My contributions since joining in 2007 include the following:
