from  Thomas Hammond <[log in to unmask]>



Apologies for any confusion. It has come to our attention that it is
not possible to submit a proposal via the Web interface unless you
have a member login for J-LET. IALLT members who would like to submit
a proposal for the conference may email the proposal as a word
document attachment to [log in to unmask] and
[log in to unmask] no later than March 15, 2012.  We will then
convey IALLT proposals to J-LET in time to meet their March 18
deadline.

Please note that J-LET wishes to receive proposals ONLY from their own
members and from current IALLT members.

Please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns.
