    Dear Colleague

    Are you a Computational Linguist, Language Technologist or Natural Language
    Processing person based in Australia or New Zealand?

    If you are, and if you are not currently a subscriber to NLANZ-L (the
    Natural Language in Australia and New Zealand mailing list; see
    www.clt.mq.edu.au/Information/nlanz.html), then you may not be aware that we
    have recently been discussing setting up an Australasian Language Technology
    Association.

    A constitution for the new organisation has been proposed and discussed, and
    is available at www.clt.mq.edu.au/alta/constitution.txt. Recent discussion
    on the NLANZ-L mailing list has been supportive, and so we now intend to
    move to the next step in the process, which involves establishing an
    electoral role and soliciting nominations for the office bearers of the new
    organisation.

    In the next few days we'll post an announcement to NLANZ-L requesting
    nominations for the president, treasurer and four executive member positions
    of the proposed organisation. Nominations will close on December 2nd 2002,
    and the full list of nominated candidates will be publicised shortly
    thereafter. If there are, at that point, more nominations than positions,
    then we will move to a vote.

    The list of eligible voters will be defined as those Australasian-based
    persons who are listed on the 'Computational Linguistics in Australasia' web
    site at www.clt.mq.edu.au/Information/oznlp.html. So, if you are not
    already on that list, please take the time to register yourself there; and
    if you are already on that list, please take this opportunity to check that
    your details are complete and correct, and make any changes as necessary.

    Best regards

    Robert Dale
    on behalf of
    Steven Bird, Dominique Estival, Sabine Geldof, Alistair
    Knott, Diego Molla Aliod, Cecile Paris, Jon Patrick, David Powers,
    Rolf Schwitter, Peter Wallis, Ingrid Zukerman
