WALS 2023 will now be held during late November or early December 2023, in a European location. The new dates and venue are being finalized and will be announced by March 15. The conference will be face-to-face with an online component. I know that changing location and date poses an inconvenience to some WALS members who have already made travel plans, and I offer a sincere apology. Unfortunately, the team in Austria was unable to fulfill the terms of its signed proposal after dismissing their conference chairperson. WALS officers, after consulting with past presidents and Ex-Co members, made the judgment that we could not guarantee a high-quality conference experience in Baden. So we opted for a slightly delayed WALS 2023, in a venue where we can be certain of an excellent conference experience.<\/p>\n                        <p style=\"line-height:130%;text-align:justify;margin:10px 0;padding:0;color:#757575;font-family:Helvetica;font-size:16px\">Thanks to many members for the updates below.
