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:
“The organization controlling the material equipment of our everyday life is such that what in itself would enable us to construct it richly plunges us instead into a poverty of abundance, making alienation all the more intolerable as each convenience promises liberation and turns out to be only one more burden. We are condemned to slavery to the means of liberation.”
—Raoul Vaneigem (b. 1934)
“Democracy is the wholesome and pure air without which a socialist public organization cannot live a full-blooded life.”
—Mikhail Gorbachev (b. 1931)
“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)
