Dear LISA Members,

Recently, we have received a number of complaints that LISA Forums are being used to promote proprietary interests. Such practices undermine our charter by fostering the impression that LISA is an arena for localization suppliers and IT providers to tout their wares. They are compounded when members openly head hunt or send junk mail using LISA Directory information. Many members have now voiced their conviction that LISA’s integrity must be preserved. In light of this, the Executive Committee has published a proposed LISA Membership Code of Good Conduct (page 16). This and related issues will be addressed at the General Assembly Meeting in Madrid on August 26
