Dear All,

The leprosy mailing list (LML) is run on a voluntary basis with the contribution of all [“writers and readers”].  Its main objectives are sharing of knowledge about leprosy and facilitate participation of all staff involved in the disease.  Anybody is free to contribute and his or her opinions are respected. 

The main language used in the LML is English.  However already in the past it has been pointed out that this should not impede people to express themselves.  Probably there is a need to stress it again.  Papers and documents relevant to leprosy but, in languages different from English will be circulated in the LML and, filed on the LML Archives.  This will make them freely available online. 

A limit to the above expressed idea is that the LML editors or somebody for them should take responsibility that they understand the document and are able of preventing publication of irrelevant or inappropriate matters.

Best regards,

S. Deepak, B Naafs, S Noto, P A M Schreuder
