I think it's up to the ACL Workshop Chairs to decide which conferences
will be virtual-only and which will be hybrid, so we need to word the
invitations accordingly.  I imagine that among us we'll be able to
scrounge up enough funds to register our invited speakers for virtual
attendance, but covering in-person registration and travel/accommodation
expenses is probably out of our reach unless we get sponsorship.  (And
we should probably apply for such sponsorship as soon as we get an
acceptance notification, or even now!)

See my recent e-mail to Ryan North's agent for sample wording that
reflects the circumstances summarized above.

Regards,
Tristan
