Andre, sorry for delay in responding...
May we add Andre to the list and welcome him as the new member of the
Language committee?

Greetings, dear LangCom group,
Michael asked me if I'd be interested in this position and indeed
I am, although I am not exactly sure yet what it entails.
So, I'm André, I'm 32 years old, from Germany, and a doctoral
student at the University of Zurich. I studied linguistics and
Chinese studies and am studying the languages of mainland
Southeast Asia, of Myanmar in particular. The languages of this
area (roughly Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam, and
parts of southern China, such as Yunnan) are a main interest of
me, and I'm doing research on them. I speak Mandarin Chinese and
Thai, and I am currently learning Burmese, Vietnamese as well as
two minority languages of Burma (Jinghpaw and Shan).
I used to be an active Wikipedian, edited many articles and wrote
a few ones myself (e.g. most of
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsez_language
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsez_language>), but recently don't
have much more time for more than minor edits and corrections. If
I can be of help as someone experienced with the languages of
mainland Southeast Asia, of different scripts, orthographies,
linguistic features, I'm willing to provide as much help as my
schedule currently allows.
Best wishes from Switzerland,
- André

As André hasn't applied for the membership, I worded the
proposal a
little bit differently.
The main point behind my proposal is that it's very hard to
find that
kind of areal linguist.
It would be good if Michael would tell us a bit more about him.
