2009Q1 Reports: Sponsorship

We collected sponsorship lists from a number of past ACLs, COLINGs, EACLs and NAACLs from previous sponsoship chairs and merged. We sent out 160 mails with ACL prospectus attached to ask for EACL 2009 (in particular) and joint EACL-NAACL-ACL 2009 three-pack (in general) sponsorship. To date Priscilla got 1 reponse: 3-pack gold sponsorship for EACL-NAACL-ACL 2009 from CNGL (which is the Centre I head). The poor response reflects the current economic and financial turmoil.
