Dan has started to lead this team to prepare ACL2020, including website construction, set up of various of sub-committees. They will follow the ACL conference book at http://aclweb.org/adminwiki/index.php?title=Conference_Handbook (needs to update though), and learn from organizers of previous ACLs to define work items, time schedule and checkpoints. We will continue to support this team from all aspects.
