	Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, Inc.
		SFWA's Copyright Exploratory Committee has crafted a series of recommendations for the SFWA board of directors to consider as it moves forward on copyright and rights management issues.
		Included in the committee's report are the results of a questionnaire sent to SFWA members, a proposal that SFWA establish a committee to focus on these issues, and a suggested workflow for the committee to follow in assisting members with concerns about copyright infringement.
		SFWA also bestows the title Damon Knight Memorial Grand Master for lifetime achievement in science fiction or fantasy.

	SFWA and the War in Iraq (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Not all members of SFWA are against the war, and it would be inappropriate for the Board of Directors to issue statements on their behalf - particularly since this issue is entirely "off topic".
		SFWA's by-laws state that the organization exists "to promote the furtherance of the writing of science fiction, fantasy and related genres..." There's nothing in the by-laws that empowers the organization to support or oppose any social causes.
		But SFWA would be wise and well-served to stick to its stated purpose: promoting science fiction and the professional health of its writers.

	The Lem Affair (Continued)
		This is to clarify certain matters pertaining to the ouster of Stanislaw Lem from the SFWA.
		When Philip José Farmer wrote to SFWA saying that he and I (Philip K. Dick) would resign from SFWA if Lem were admitted on a regular dues-paying basis, he was speaking both unethically and perhaps even illegally, inasmuch as he had never discussed this matter with me at all.
		These members are considered permanently qualified for active SFWA membership (they must pay dues, like the other members), while other members must keep up their credentials to remain active.

	VanderWorld (under occupation): I, JEFF VANDERMEER, AM RUNNING FOR SFWA PRESIDENT
		SFWA would abandon efforts to get healthcare for members and instead focus on preventative exercise and diet, providing discounts on vegetables and fruit, as well as on gym memberships.
		Any SFWA member who lost 20 pounds in one year would be eligible for a free two-year membership in any functional organization of their choice.
		SFWA also needs a good logo--like an eagle with talons out, devouring a pig, which is itself devouring a lion.

	Whatever: Some SFWA Inside Pool (Site not responding. Last check: )
		This is a discussion I've had before: SFWA members are very eager to say "let's speak in schools for free!" not understanding that children's writers are usually paid for school visits, and that this is part of how many of them make their living.
		SFWA mainly acts as a platform for individuals to do volunteer work, hopefully to advance the causes of sf/f writers.
		If people really want SFWA to do more for them, and they really don't want to do the work themselves, then they have the option of paying more in dues and getting someone to do the work for them.

	Analog Discussion Board (Site not responding. Last check: )
		SFWA has a number of useful characteristics and services, so yes, it is relevant.
		How influential SFWA (or any writing group) is with influencing the publishing industry is debatable, but that doesn't prevent them from working for fair contracts and fair dealings with authors.
		There are some writers who actually make their living from writing the stuff, and it dilutes the prestige and clout of the organization when it is composed of a larger number of writers who are more akin to hobbyists.

	Whatever: My Post-SFWA Election Results Post
		I understand, of course, that there may be a number of SFWA members who felt this was unnecessary or possibly unseemly and that all we did with a public campaign was air a bunch of private dirty laundry out in public.
		I applaud that party's choice to return that money to SFWA sooner than later, and hope he realizes that such promises are not to be lightly set aside, either for his own sake or the sake of the organization.
		SFWA needs to change some, and I hope there will be vocal people around to help prod the board into doing the right things.

	Frederik Pohl: The SFWA Grandmasters, Volume II
		Since all of the authors whose works are included in The SFWA Grand Masters have been recognized to have had a major influence on the field of science fiction, Pohl, naturally, has a large selection of high quality and influential stories to draw from when choosing pieces to represent their works.
		While Norton may represent the wing of SFWA which writes both fantasy and science fiction, Clarke is firmly in the SF camp.
		While some of the authors are well known and widely read, others have undeservedly fallen by the wayside and this series of books offers a chance for a new generation of fan to get to know their works.

	Solaris Forum - SFWA obituary? (Site not responding. Last check: )
		To avoid shame, SFWA finds the legal way, and decides - because Lem's work were printed in US - doesn't need to be honorary member, but full time regular member.
		Well, that article seems very biast to me. The reasons for Lem leaving the SFWA were pretty clear and it wasn't due to him being dissapointed about his honorary membership being revoked.
		SFWA was an American trade union of SF writers.

	Live Coverage from the Nebula Awards; April 19, 1997
		GeorgeRRMartin: SFWA is the Science Fiction WRiters of America, a professional association of sf and fantasy writers.
		We disagree on the issue, JMS was invited to rejoin as part of an OutReach campaign we'd launched to win back former members,,, but he chose to reopen the old Drama Nebula fight instead.
		GeorgeRRMartin: The most important thing SFWA does is help protect its members from abuse by publishers, We have a very strong Grievance Committee, we audit publishers' books, we have a Legal Defense Fund to help members to need to go to court, and so on.

	Lorem Ipsum: Colonizing SFWA (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The legitimate argument underlying some of that irritating rhetoric is that SFWA is an organization of working professional writers, and as such is free to define for itself "working professional." SFWA isn't in the business of developing new writers, doesn't represent the interests of aspiring writers, etc. Nor should it -- that's not its purpose.
		Joining SFWA can be kind of like graduating from high school -- it's the most important thing in your life for years, but starting about two days after the fact it's hard to remember what all the fuss was about.
		I think emerging writers who think SFWA is King Shit and unfair for keeping the bar too high would have a very different, and more realistic attitude, were the teapot kept in focus.

	Science Fiction Writer Robert J. Sawyer: Crazy SFWA Position
		SFWA is a democracy, and it practices and promotes free speech.
		And yet the belief is pervasive that SFWA has articulated a position against such works and/or the writers who produce them.
		The damage done to this corporation's credibility by the constant hand-wringing, the constant cries of "who is SFWA trying to kick out this time?" and "SFWA is against media tie-ins" has been incalculable.

		At the same ceremony, SFWA will present Nebula Awards for the best science fiction or fantasy novel, novella, novelette, and short story of the year; the winners are selected by vote of the active writer members of the organization.
		SFWA is an organization of nearly 1400 science fiction and fantasy writers, editors, and allied professionals.
