English is and will remain the main language, but we should be flexible and reasonably open to other languages; presentations and contributions for proceedings in other languages can be accepted, specially if the Symposium is hosted in non EN speaking country

The membership should be low because we are already members of many associations; it could be dedicated to maintain the website and promote LESLLA internationally

The “resources” section of the website is very important and useful for teachers; It should be in the centre of attention of the LESLLA board

Everything should be in English - but perhaps also the language of the host country of the conference, if there is a possibility to translate. So this year - Italian and English.

Conference discounts and voting rights. Membership should be a sliding scale - perhaps a recommended fee, but one that those of us who are struggling students etc can tailor to our means. But perhaps include a minimum so it doesn’t get outrageous

The current vision is more suited for a mission and probably needs some changing as well. The vision is the change that we want to see such as that all, worldwide, second language and literacy learners acquire language and literacy skills to participate fully in their new communities. Or something along those lines. The vision is what we want to see. The goal. The goal is not to get together and share (that is what we do to get to our vision).

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with the previous post. The visión is the target, but we can refer to our goal related to the students (included in the misión) or goals related to the LESLLA community of researchers. In this way, the visión of LESLLA may be to be leader in the field of research on the deveolpment of second language and litereacy skills by immigrant learners with Little or no schooling (not sure if this is enough politically-correct )

# data[].attributes.body
It is also intended, as far as possible, to influence educational policies related to immigrant second languages instruction/education (?)
