[Corpora-List] Fwd: [BioNLP] World=?windows-1252?Q?=92s_?=Biggest Computer Conference WORLDCOMP is Cancelled

[Phil Gooch]

The article talks about 'his conference' - it's a bit unusual for an
international conference to be organised by one person, isn't it?

If this is genuine, then there would surely be an organising committee -
who are the organising committee for WorldComp and why are they not backing
him up?
