2025Q3 Reports: Member at-large / SIGs&BIG

The ACL currently has 30 SIGs (up from 29 last year). The new SIGs is SIGSEA: SIG on Southeast Asian Natural Language Processing. ACL also has one BIG (EquiCL). Most of our SIGs have between 100 and 500 members. Our largest SIGs are SIGARAB, SIGDAT and SIGREP. The smallest ones are SIGUR and SIGWrit.

Most of the SIGs and the BIG are currently responsive; I note the following concern:

- SIGHan has not been very active in recent years; the last workshop they organized was in 2017; a workshop was proposed but not accepted last year. The SIG has missed holding a new election in last autumn; I did manage to get in touch with the president of SIGHan, and they are discussing and will get back to us with next steps (probably holding a new election).

- SIGWAC has not been very active in recent years; they did submit a short report though and are planning a future WaC workshop.

More information on specific SIGs can be found in the freshly updated SIG_Compliance or the SIGs' individual reports, which contain information on their board composition, membership and recent activities. Most SIGs report a recent growth in membership numbers, and most have recently organized a workshop or conference.
