THE ASSOCIATION FOR COMPUTATIONAL LINGUISTICS

2009 ONLINE MEMBERSHIP FORM


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.
