The tutorial submission deadline is on January 22nd, 2012. Dates for notification, final tutorial descriptions, submitting course materials are set. Email will be used for submission and acknowledgement of receipt, notifications etc. Following advice from previous tutorial chairs I solicited three proposals without promising that these will get accepted. By 15 January 2012, I received two proposal submissions.<br />
<br />
Mentorship Service (Joyce Chai)<br />
<br />
The submission for mentorship requests of Long Paper has been closed. Mentoring Service will coordinate the mentoring service for Long and Short papers (deadline on 24 Jan 2012), while Demo Chair and SRW Faculty Advisors will coordinate for their respective programs.<br />
We have received 10 requests for mentoring service for long papers. Mentors worked very hard and all the comments were mailed to the authors on 21 December 2011.<br />
<br />
Student Research Workshop (Kentaro Inui, Greg Kondrak, Yang Liu)<br />
<br />
1. Student travel grants<br />
We have submitted a proposal to NSF requesting $19.5K for student travel support. The proposal is pending now, we expect to get the award soon. Note that this NSF grant will be mainly to support students from the US. It might be possible to support some students from developing countries. <br />
2. Program committee<br />
We have appointed 4 student chairs, recruited 42 reviewers for the program committee, of which 11 are students.<br />
Among all the reviewers, 24 are from North America, 16 from Europe, and 2 from Asia. They represent a wide range of research areas.<br />
3. Mentorship Service Arrangement<br />
Seven students have requested pre-submission mentor services. We are currently recruiting pre-submission and conference mentors, and three people have agreed to be pre-submission mentors so far. Most of the conference mentoring recruitment will be done later in the spring when potential mentors know if they'll be attending the conference or not.<br />
Publicity Chairs (Jung-jae Kim, Youngjoong Ko)<br />
<br />
We have set up an email alias chairs@acl2012.org to facilitate internal communications, and official website www.acl2012.org to serve as the information portal. All call for submissions are publicized at official website and through various mailing lists. Newsletter service started in December 2011. <br />
<br />
Sponsorship Chairs (Eiichiro Sumita, Wang Haifeng, Michael Gamon, Patrick Pantel, Massimiliano Ciaramita, Idan Szpektor, Priscilla Rasmussen)<br />
<br />
ACL, NAACL, EACL formed a sponsorship committee with representatives from 3 different conferences. By 15 Jan 2012, the committee and Priscilla have secured over 23 thousand dollars of sponsorship from Google, Elsevier, Preferred Infrastructure, BaoBab, Butler Hill Group, Mixi, , Rakuten Institute of Technology, and ETS. They are working on several new leads that Priscilla will report separately.<br />

<br />
The ACL 2012 organizing committee consists of eleven members, including members of the ACL executive committee and members nominated by AFNLP. The committee received several bids to host ACL 2012, so the committee was temporarily re-organized to avoid conflicts of interest. The committee completed an initial round of analyzing bids, and a final selection is to be made by June 28, 2010.<br />
<br />
We have also contacted organizers of related 2012 conferences and workshops in order to avoid conflicting dates as much as possible, and to investigate co-location possibilities:<br />
<br />
=== ACL<br />
- receives bids by 3/15/2010, makes decision by 6/28/2010.<br />
- conference must be held in Asia-Pacific in June, July, or August of 2012.<br />
