The General Chair of the main ACL conference should have:
- experience from at least one (preferably two) of the following conference chair roles:
- Program Chair of a major international conference in Computational Linguistics or a related area
- Local Arrangements Chair of an international conference in Computational Linguistics or a related area
- General Chair of an international conference in Computational Linguistics or a related area
- a proven capacity for leadership, including good organizational, collaborative and communicative skills.
When appointing a General Chair, the coordinating committee should in addition consider the following:
- ACL wants to promote equality and diversity in the selection of conference chairs.
- The General Chair should normally have an affiliation in the geographical region where the conference takes place.
- Candidates who have already been General Chair of the main ACL conference should normally not be considered again.
- Candidates with experience only from conferences in related areas, not Computational Linguistics, should normally not be considered.
NB: As _major_ CL conferences are counted ACL, NAACL, EACL, IJCNLP, COLING, LREC and EMNLP. Conferences in related areas include, for example, IJCAI, AAAI, NIPS, ICML, CHI, and CSCW.
