ACL-01 LOCAL arrangements:
Patrick Saint-Dizier

On june 25th: 571 registrations, 453 payments recieved.
152 students and 419 regulars. About 40 more expected on site.
Participation from many countries, special note for the large participation
of Koreans, Japanese and Taiwanese colleagues. A few new countries:
Jordan, Egypt, Morroco, Tunisia, South Africa. No one from Latin
and South America.

11 workshops: a total of 823 workshop days, with participant per workshop
ranging from 29 to 87

5 tutorials: 197 participants in total, ranging from 7 participants to 54.

For both workshops and tutorials, a large preference is observed for those
with a clear 'applied' dimension.

Budget: will be presented on July 8th. A surplus of about 30 000 US$
is expected, provided we can collect all payments.

Some points to debate:
- main conference registration compulsory even for those who
attend only a workshop: as a result a number of workshop
participants have decided not to come.
- participants from emerging countries have difficulties paying
all the fees in addition to the trip, a policy should be elaborated
(this has been a problem for the workshop on processing Arabic, for example).
