ACL Status Report

SIGs -- General
Eduard Hovy

The ACL SIGs continue to be healthy and active.  All but one of them
held or cosponsored conferences or workshops during 1999-2000.

The policy governing `shadow accounts' in which the funds generated
by and allocated to each SIG is still under discussion.
