SUMMARY

  • There is a total of 19 SIGs (including the new SIGSLAV, founded on 27-Nov-2014).
  • 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.
  • There is an ongoing activity to create a new SIG for Uralic languages (Francis Tyers, Tommi Piranen).
