 Call for Bids to Host ACL/EACL'01

The Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) hereby invites
proposals to host the 39th Annual Meeting of the ACL (ACL'01) together
with the 10th Conference of its European Chapter in Europe (including
neigbouring countries like Israel or Turkey). International ACL
conferences are usually held at the end of July.

The proposal submission process is in two stages. First, draft
proposals are sought from prospective proposers. Based on the
evaluation of the draft proposals, selected proposers will be invited
to submit full proposals. The intent of a request for draft proposals
is to minimize the labor and costs associated with the production of
full proposals.


Draft proposals are due on 15 June 1999. Draft proposals are evaluated
competitively at the ACL Executive Meeting on 22 June 1999 after
consultation with the EACL Board. Selected proposers will be informed
electronically before 26 June 1999. Full proposals are due on 15
August 1999.

Draft proposals should include:

- Location (accessibility, conference venue, hotels, student dorms)
- Local CL Community
- Proposed Date
- Meeting Space (space for plenary sessions, tutorials, workshops, 
 posters, exhibits, demos and small meetings)
- A/V equipment
- Food/Entertainment/Banquet/Receptions
- Local Arrangements (chairs, committee, volunteer labor, registration
 handling)
- Sponsorships
- Budget estimates


Proposals will be evaluated in relation to a number of site selection
criteria (unordered):

- Experience of Local Arrangement team.
- Local CL community support.
- Local government and industry support.
- Accessibility and attractiveness of proposed site.
- Appropriateness of proposed dates.
- Adequacy of conference and exhibit facilities for the anticipated
 number of registrants 
- Adequacy of residence accommodations and food services in a range of
 price categories and close to the conference facilities.
- Adequacy of budget projections and expected surplus.
- Balance with regard to the geographical distribution of previous
 conferences.


Draft proposals should be sent electronically to 
the ACL Vice-President:
