SIGSEM elections were held in February 2007 with the following results:

       Johan Bos (President)
       Alexander Koller (Secretary)
       Paul Buitelaar (Information Officer)
       Harry Bunt (Information Officer)
       Katrin Erk (Information Officer)
       Claire Gardent (Information Officer)


One of the first activities the new SIGSEM board undertook was 
changing the SIGSEM webpages into a wiki based site where all SIGSEM 
officers can easily change and update information. Also, the SIGSEM 
newsletter was resurrected with a fresh issue sent in May this year to all 
SIGSEM members, reporting on the SIGSEM working groups and upcoming 
events. The current SIGSEM membership counts 614 members [May 18, 2007].


The major event organised by SIGSEM in 2007 was IWCS7, the seventh 
International Workshop on Computational Semantics, which was held from 
10 - 12 January 2007 in Tilburg, Netherlands.  A detailed conference 
report was compiled by Jennifer Spenader and is published on the 
SIGSEM webpage.
