  abstract  = {Shared tasks are increasingly common in our field, and new challenges are
	suggested at almost every conference and  workshop. However, as this has become
	an established way of pushing research forward, it is important to discuss how
	we researchers organise and participate in shared tasks, and make that
	information available to the  community to allow further research improvements.
	In this paper, we present a number of ethical issues along with other areas of
	concern that are related to the competitive nature of shared tasks. As such
	issues could potentially impact on research ethics in the Natural Language
	Processing community, we also propose the development of a framework for the
	organisation of and participation in shared tasks that can help mitigate
	against these issues arising.},
