- Editors Meeting for all Lang Sci series: October 7 in Germany, nobody can attend, maybe Laura can represent us?

3. EACL-MWE 2017 workshop proposal
- joint event: traditional workshop + short task
- proposal: 2-day event but we may end up in 1,5/1 day + posters
- a competing proposal expected from Valia Kordoni
- back-up plan for the shared task: a workshop at another venue (CICLING, TALN) or a separate workshop
- special volume for selected papers from the MWE workshop
- in principle OK for Yannick, Victoria, Mike and Manfred
- Manfred: according to the book series procedures, a formal volume proposal should be submitted to the editors
- open questions:
	* same papers or their extended versions?
	* additional reviews needed?
	* should we mix papers from the traditional workshop, from the shared task and from outside?
	* Yannick: ask the opinion of LSP people about these issues

4. Synergies between WGs and the shared task 
- feedback from Victoria: 
	* good methodology, decision trees etc.
	* inappropriate choices of some English examples in the linguistic tests
	* Agata: the ST team badly needs an English native speaker to enhance the English examples and formulations

5. Final reporting (info by Ralph):
- remote evaluation of the report - template on e-COST for the chair
- collect all the impact from WG's, publications, applications, submissions of project proposals
- the report is due 3-4 months after the end of the action
- start working on the contents before the end of the action
- important chapter to prepare about the action's outcomes:
	* Target audience: informed non-experts,  COST community/officers
	* What has the action achieved?
	* What are the success stories (remarkable facts, e.g.: PARSEME/eNEL synergy, shared task). Numerical data, e.g. number of STSMs etc. are no good success stories.

6. Next SC meeting - will be planned only if needed (e.g. if the STSM requests are hard to satisfy).
