As part of its efforts to promote diversity and inclusiveness, ACL has decided to publish diversity statistics, showing the distribution of gender and geographical origin among ACL Members and ACL Fellows. The goal is to publish statistics annually, so that the development can be tracked over time. (Unfortunately, for 2017, full membership statistics was not available and is therefore approximated with statistics for attendees at ACL 2017 in Vancouver, which probably introduces a geographical bias.)
