The proposal must include, as a minimum, the chairperson’s name, details of the venue, lodging capabilities near the venue, publication details for abstracts, advertisement plan, and budget. The budget must include at least $4,000 for use by the ICLAS in support of the conference.

The ICLAS chairperson shall poll the ICLAS and a consensus reached by the end of February in the year after the last ILRC. The ICLAS chairperson shall notify the chairperson for the winning proposal.
