Organization
The director of the KLI is its founder Lawrence M. Schoen, Ph.D.
In changing periods from three to eighteen months a so-called Beginners' Grammarian is elected among the most experienced speakers. His duty is to help and teach the beginners of the Klingon language, especially in the Klingon email discussion group, which is also accessible for non-members. When his duty is over, he keeps his title of "Grammarian". Meanwhile the KLI has about 20 of those former Beginners' Grammarians.
The KLI is in close contact with Marc Okrand, the creator of the Klingon language. Since the third qep'a' he has visited each one. At this occasion, he receives a wishlist for missing Klingon vocabulary, which he frequently answers. These new words are first published in "HolQeD", and then at the KLI's website.

Famous quotes containing the word organization:
“Democracy is the wholesome and pure air without which a socialist public organization cannot live a full-blooded life.”
—Mikhail Gorbachev (b. 1931)
“The Red Cross in its nature, it aims and purposes, and consequently, its methods, is unlike any other organization in the country. It is an organization of physical action, of instantaneous action, at the spur of the moment; it cannot await the ordinary deliberation of organized bodies if it would be of use to suffering humanity, ... [ellipsis in original] it has by its nature a field of its own.”
—Clara Barton (1821–1912)
“The village had institutionalized all human functions in forms of low intensity.... Participation was high and organization was low. This is the formula for stability.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
