The concept of organizing and establishing an Esperantists' club or association (e.g. Landa Asocio) has drawn our attention for the past few weeks.

So, I just wanna ask to others out there if there is any required/legal steps, or documents for a club to be established and recognized officially or/and formally, maybe if needed, by, e.g. the bigger ones, i.e. UEA, TEJO or the similar.

Or... you just meet with others in your respective place and agree with all of them that you form this certain club or association, and attend international congresses to get recognized?

We, particularly me, are curious because we, Filipino Esperantists, plan to establish our 'national association' in the near future (and yes there is still no Esperantists' club in the Philippines yet, not counting a Facebook group). At least, we can move effectively should we get know what to do.

Thanks!

Correction: So sleepy that I didn't notice it was 'a' rather than 'an' in the thread title. LOL

you could read this: http://uea.org/dokumentoj/statuto.html bear in mind it's in Esperanto. i hope that's not a problem for at least one of the people trying to start the Landa Asocio.

Be ware there there are a lot of formalities in Esperanto. You absolutely must wear a green star. It would help if all Esperantists would die their hair green. Then we would really stand out. On top of that, there is a stiff exam - you must memorize the Krestomatio inside and out and be able to stand through 20 verses of La Espero. On top of that, you must learn words like kabei, raŭmisto and ILEI (this last is a kind of Hawai'ian necklace made of flowers). We usually drink green beer and one of my dearest acquaintances insists that one wear green underwear. But who's checking? Avoid krokodili at all costs. It helps to be a vegan or pretend to be - or just bring your pet rabbit to the next bankedo and quietly feed it what is served under the table. Of course, it is good to have a good Zamenhof joke ready for those embarassing moments when you forget the meaning of TEJO which of course means Tetrinkaj Esperanto Juft-Odorantoj. jufto laŭ PIV: fortika, akvorezista - [isto de rezoj] - sed malbonodora ledo el junaj bestoj (ĉevalo, bovo, kapro ktp) tanita en speciala rusa maniero ka grasumita plejofte per betula gudro su la interna flanko). If you don't think that you have "gufton" en the Philippines look in the closet of one of your expresident's wives (Imelda Marco) where she is reported to have thousands of shoes. We are sure that you will somehow fulfill this last requirement easily. So good luck! Bonan ŝancon! A whole new world awaits you in Esperantio/Esperantujo/Esperantolando - or at least until the fina venko - then we are gonna have to rewrite the rules.

Just kidding, Agarrido! Estu tre bonvena (WELCOME!!!!!) With over 1,700 languages in your country we know that we will have a great time printing new ŝlosiloj for the Philippines. If this were paid work, we would all get rich. (The ŝlosilo is really a great idea. It is a little book that you can send along with a letter in Esperanto. The booklet is about Esperanto - the famous 16 rules of grammar - and a small lexicon. We are presently preparing one for the British tourists when they visit the US so that they won't feel so lost when we speak our language which resembles British but not quite. They come here to Florida for their holidays in March!! And of course we have to send them home until December when we have our holidays. Other than that they are allowed in on a Vacation Pass which may include Holidays but doesn't have to.)

Well, many thanks for the effort to type the great joke on your first post. ^ And about this one, we don't have that many languages, only Filipino and English as two main languages, with 80+ other Filipino dialects, so do take note that about 80% of our population can and do speak or write in English. And yes, that printed material for Esperanto certainly will help to spread awareness of it.

And thanks! As we are welcome to certainly make a landa asocio for ours, I see that there still are required steps to do so.

Oho, that one? It has been inactive for so long. I have tried to contact any members of it but there seems to be no response at all. Maybe we can revive it somehow. And now I have to know what things we have to do. You see, our group barely knows if there exist other Esperantists in the Philippines and even where to find, so the big search continues. Anyway, thanks for the info!

In that case, the next thing to do is to contact the Komisiono de UEA pri Azia Esperanto-Movado (KAEM). The Komisiono exists to assist projects like yours.

Its contact address: [url=esperanto@jei.or.jp]esperanto@jei.or.jp[/url] with KAEM in the header.
