THE ASSOCIATION FOR COMPUTATIONAL LINGUISTICS

2008 ONLINE MEMBERSHIP FORM


Renewals must be received no later than April 1, 2008 to avoid late payment fee (for postage/handling assessment).

Notice on currency: The ACL membership comes from around the world. However, because of limitations due to 
our current bank accounts and access to on-line payments, we are currently only able to accept online payment in US Dollars (USD). 
Therefore all membership fees and associated costs are quoted in USD. In an effort to compensate our non-US members 
for the inconvenience and cost in bank conversions, we provide a 3% discount for those who are paying from outside the US.

NOTE: Javascript should be enabled in your browser to permit calculation of form totals.
