ACL SIGs: Report on Year 2014 (Feb. 01, 2015) Hermann Ney (update: Feb. 16, 2015)

Summary

There is a total of 19 SIGs (including the new SIGSLAV, founded on 27-Nov-2014).
The number of members reported below refers to the year 2014 in most cases.
According to the SIG creation guidelines, a SIG should hold elections every two years, which is the case for the majority of the SIGs.
There are seven SIGs that do not follow the two-year election pattern: SIGBioMed, SIGFSM, SIGLEX, SIGNLL, SIGPARSE, SIGSEM, SIGWAC. Apart from SIGLEX, all these SIGs have a three-year term in their constitution.
