I would like to discuss the short papers, in order to avoid a situation where the NAACL HLT short paper track diverges from the new ACL short paper track in weird ways.  Specifically, the issues are:
+
; 9am Business items:
 +
:* welcome (Steven, chair)
 +
:* membership update; conference registrations (Priscilla)
 +
:* questions arising from management reports: secretary, treasurer, office, EACL, NAACL, Nominating Committee, SIG Convener
 +
:* questions arising from publications reports: journal, book reviews, squibs, anthology, website, archivist, wiki
  
+ Parallel submission to short and long paper tracks.  I think this has been agreed on by email, but it may be good to formally agree, and to talk about date ranges for concreteness.
+
; 9.30am Discussion items:
+ Topics. 
+
:* diversification, short papers (Sandee, Steven, Nicoletta, Owen, 1 hour) + Jan/Joakim
+ Target acceptance rates.
+
:* journal venue for conference publications (Ido, 1.5 hours)
+ Presentation types.
 
+ Detail: I think we should not include the references in the short papers, either (i.e., 4+references, not 4 including references).
 
  
I will be happy to present the NAACL policy on these issues, which can change of course as a result of the ACL Exec discussion.
+
; 12.00pm:
 +
:* ACL-IJCNLP 2009 (Keh-Yih, General Chair; Haizhou, Local Chair, 30 mins)
 +
 +
; 12.30pm: ''Lunch'' + Jan/Joakim + Keh-Yih/Haizhou
  
This discussion will set policy which the PC co-chairs will need to take into account when drafting the CfP.  Note that NAACL sees short papers as the preferred way to explore making the conference more diverse, so this topic is also implicated in this discussion.
+
== AFTERNOON (1:30-5) ==
  
Owen
+
; 1.30pm Business items:
 +
:* Any issues arising from recent conferences (EACL 2009, NAACL HLT 2009)
 +
:* Any issues concerning future conferences (ACL 2010, 2011, 2012)
  
 +
; 2.30pm Discussion items:
 +
:* sponsorship committee, joint fundraising (Steven, Owen, Giorgio, 30 mins)
 +
:* conference sudoku (Drago, 30 mins)
 +
:* new initiatives (http://www.crowdvine.com, http://videolectures.net, AAN, softconf, etc.) (Drago), member portal (Robert)
