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 art of government is the organization of idolatry. The bureaucracy consists of functionaries; the aristocracy, of idols; the democracy, of idolaters. The populace cannot understand the bureaucracy: it can only worship the national idols.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“I would wish that the women of our country could embrace ... [the responsibilities] of citizenship as peculiarly their own. If they could apply their higher sense of service and responsibility, their freshness of enthusiasm, their capacity for organization to this problem, it would become, as it should become, an issue of profound patriotism. The whole plane of political life would be lifted.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
“Politics, as a practise, whatever its professions, has always been the systematic organization of hatreds.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
