Dear CLARIN-BE members,

May I ask you to provide responses to the following questions. You do 
not need to answer all of them, but it would be good if you could at 
least answer some of them. If you consider yourself more as a CLARIN 
user than a CLARIN builder, then please take a look at the user's part.

Please respond by the 1st of February, as a reply by email to me.

Thank you,

kind regards,

v.
