<p>New page: EACL Report, January 2008 ========================= Alex Lascarides, Chair Giorgio Satta, Chair-elect Anette Frank, Secretary Mike Rosner, treasuer 1. ACL 2007 in Prague ---------------...</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>EACL Report, January 2008<br /> =========================<br /> Alex Lascarides, Chair<br /> Giorgio Satta, Chair-elect<br /> Anette Frank, Secretary <br /> Mike Rosner, treasuer<br /> <br /> 1. ACL 2007 in Prague<br /> ----------------------<br /> <br /> ACL 2007 was jointly hosted by EACL and ACL. EACL were thrilled at the<br /> record number of participants, and we are very grateful to everyone<br /> who worked hard to make this a successful conference. We are waiting<br /> to hear from the ACL treasurer what the financial results were, as<br /> they affect the EACL accounts.<br /> <br /> 2. EACL 2009<br /> -------------<br /> <br /> This will take place in Athens from March 30th--April 3rd. The chairs<br /> for EACL 2009 have now been chosen:<br /> <br /> Local Organising Chair: Vangelis Karkaletsis<br /> Programme Chairs Claire Gardent<br /> Joakim Nivre<br /> Sponsorship Chairs Josef van Genabith<br /> Philipp Koehn <br /> Tutorials Chairs Emiel Krahmer<br /> David Weir <br /> Workshop Chairs Steve Clark <br /> Miriam Butt<br /> Demos Chairs Jorn Kreutel<br /> Publications Chairs David Schlangen<br /> Kemal Oflazer<br /> <br /> We&#039;re still waiting to hear from ACL and NAACL who the Asian and US<br /> members of the sponsorship team will be. Under the new arrangements<br /> for conference sponsorship, Philipp and Josef are also sponsorship<br /> chairs for ACL 2009 and NAACL 2009. <br /> <br /> While the original Athens bid was to host the conference at a large 4*<br /> hotel in a central location (Divani Caravel), Vangelis and his team<br /> have managed to negotiate a fantastic deal at Megaron Mousikis<br /> (www.megaron.gr), the premier conference venue in Athens. This site<br /> is also the cultural centre, housing the main concert hall in Athens<br /> and a number of smaller theatres and galleries. It is extremely well<br /> located: very central with excellent metro connections to all parts of<br /> Athens, and many hotels of varied class and price all within a 5<br /> minute walk. I&#039;m confident that this will be a fantastic venue for<br /> EACL 2009.<br /> <br /> 3. EACL Sponsorships<br /> ---------------------<br /> <br /> EACL sponsored students attending ESSLLI 2007 in Dublin,<br /> valuing 3000 Euros in total.<br /> <br /> 4. Financial report: <br /> ---------------------<br /> <br /> CHAPTER FINANCES 2006<br /> <br /> balance<br /> 31/12/2005 8,832<br /> <br /> INCOME<br /> Income from ACL ($5000) 3,869<br /> <br /> <br /> 3,869 3,869<br /> EXPENSES<br /> EACL Foundation -102<br /> Sponsorships -5,627<br /> EACL06 Expenses<br /> Tutor -2,440<br /> Inv Spk -2,627<br /> PC Mtg -4,390<br /> <br /> tot -9,457 -9,457<br /> <br /> tot expenses -15,186 -15,186<br /> <br /> 31/12/2006 -2,485<br /> <br /> The above figures are not yet finalised. We are still waiting on the<br /> final outcome of ACL 2004, which made a loss. The above report also<br /> only records transactions to 31st December 2006. Thus it takes into<br /> account some expenditure for EACL 2006, but none of its income.<br /> Initial financial reports show that EACL 2006 made a profit (of around<br /> 17K euros); so our rough current balance is a surplus, rather than a<br /> deficit as shown above, of around 12K euros. The updated finanical<br /> report, including all activity in 2007, will be presented in May.<br /> <br /> 5. EACL Officers<br /> ----------------------------<br /> <br /> There are no personnel changes on the EACL board this year. The next<br /> big changes will be in January 2008. <br /> <br /> 6. EACL Student Board<br /> ----------------------<br /> <br /> Nuria Bertomeu has finished her PhD unexpectedly early, and will leave<br /> Saarland in January. Her tenure on the student board, however, was<br /> due to last until June. The EACL board have asked her to stay on the<br /> student board until June, to give us time to elect another member, and<br /> she has agreed to stay on until June as originally planned. We are<br /> currently exploring the ways in which procedures for electing members<br /> of the student board might be changed so as to avoid this situation in<br /> future. And we are currently actively seeking a replacement for<br /> Nuria.<br /> <br /> <br /> 7. EACL 2010<br /> -------------<br /> <br /> Alex Lascarides, Anette Frank, Giorgio Satta and Mike Rosner represent<br /> EACL on the ACL 2010 committee. The deadline for bids to host ACL<br /> 2010 is on February 15th 2008. We look forward to working with other<br /> members of the committee to choose the venue.</div>
