As just published on the SF3 website,
SF3 has withdrawn the invitation to Elizabeth Moon to attend WisCon 35 as guest of honor. The WisCon committee chairs are appointed by the SF3 president.
SF3 is the parent 501k 501(c)(3) corporation that contains WisCon as one of its committees.
For reasons of legal liability, the SF3 executive board takes responsibility for actions like this one.
If you have comments about this decision, we ask that you direct them to sf3info at wiscon dot info. These responses will be read by the SF3 President and the SF3 Corresponding Secretary.
Edited to add: Comments are turned on at this post and at Dreamwidth, but note that again, comments/questions that you want directed at SF3 should be e-mailed using the address above.
Comments are also being collected at
WisCon's Momentary Taste of...blog as well as at
the announcement post in the SF3 blog. (Comment-leaving invitations edited again to include official blogs, 10/21/10, 12:07pm CST)
