submit a proposal for a 2019 ACL workshop titled <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://sites.google.com/view/disrpt2019/"><b>Discourse
Relation Parsing and Treebanking (DISRPT)</b>.</a> We
would like to ask help and to vote for the workshop (if you
are current ACL members). We would also like to ask you to
disseminate this information to your colleagues and students
who are interested in discourse relations in any framework.
We are currently working on preparing the
<b>shared task on elementary discourse unit segmentation
across formalisms</b>. We will keep our fingers crossed
for the workshop and hope to see many of you there next
year,</span></p>
