At this summer's conference in Boston, Jon Doyle, chair of the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM)'s SIGART, approached Danny Bobrow and myself about creating a joint membership directory. Viewing this joint directory as a great idea, we approached Peter Patel-Schneider, Secretary of Canadian Studies in Computational Linguistics and Intelligence (CSCLI), about including CSCLI members. Peter tentatively agreed, contingent on his board's agreeing to the joint effort. It is hoped that we can also include the budding Mexican AI society's members in the directory. The purpose of the directory is not only to provide a listing of the names of all these societies' members but also to serve as a general information resource about North American AI research centers, AI companies, and universities and colleges with AI studies.
