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)
“Unless a group of workers know their work is under surveillance, that they are being rated as fairly as human beings, with the fallibility that goes with human judgment, can rate them, and that at least an attempt is made to measure their worth to an organization in relative terms, they are likely to sink back on length of service as the sole reason for retention and promotion.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“Politics, as a practise, whatever its professions, has always been the systematic organization of hatreds.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
