<p>Dear members of the CLARIN-BE consortium,</p>
<p><br /></p>
<p>The first four years of CLARIN-BE have passed by quickly, and we have to prolong our agreement with CLARIN-ERIC. While this is not much more than a formality, I want to take the opportunity of organising things a bit more.</p>
<p>Instead of the current <a href="mailto:clarin-be@ccl.kuleuven.be">clarin-be@ccl.kuleuven.be</a> email address that aliases all your emails, we've set up a mailing list <a href="https://lists.clarin.eu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clarin-be">https://lists.clarin.eu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clarin-be</a>. This will allow more flexible management of who gets which emails. It will also allow you to easily subscribe/unsubscribe or delegate following up on CLARIN-BE by people from your lab. So, please subscribe to this mailing list, as this current address will become obsolete.</p>
<p>Another request for the renewal of our agreement with CLARIN-ERIC: we are asked to provide a list of things we are planning to contribute to the CLARIN infrastructure in the next four years. So, if you have some corpora, tools, models, or other resources (e.g. training materials) that you are planning to make or have made but not yet deposited to CLARIN, now would be a good time to consider listing these. It should be clear that such a list does not oblige you to anything and is merely used to get an idea of what to expect and to identify potential synergies between different partners.</p>
<p>I would greatly appreciate your response (and subscription to the mailing list) by March 16. If you think CLARIN-BE is no longer relevant for your group or you have no further interest, then please also notify me. </p>
<p><br /></p>
<p>kind regards,</p>
<p>Vincent.</p>
