+Dear ###,
+
+As organisers of the 8th Web as Corpus Workshop (WAC-8), this year at Corpus Linguistics 2013 [http://ucrel.lancs.ac.uk/cl2013/], we would like to ask you if you could be part of the WAC-8 Program Committee. After a stronger focus on application-oriented natural language processing and Web technology in recent years the workshop returns to its roots in the corpus linguistics community. Consequently, we expect very interesting submissions from this joint theme. Moreover, we are trying to assemble a reasonably large PC, to keep reviewing assignments to a minimum.
+
+The important dates are the following (and cf. [https://sigwac.org.uk/wiki/WAC8] for more information):
+ * March 3: Submission of extended abstract to be made through EasyChair <https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wac8>
+ * March 17: Notification of acceptance
+ * June 23: Submission of full paper
+Authors will be invited to submit extended abstracts of a maximum of two (2) pages, including references.
+
+We would be grateful if you could let us know your availability asap, but in any case by Monday February 18th. Please note that PC membership does not preclude you from submitting an extended abstract to the workshop.
+
+We believe you would make a great addition to the WAC-8 WaCKy PC. Looking forward to your favourable response.
+ 
+
+Thanks,
+### (on behalf of the organising committee).
