Dear colleagues,
many thanks to those of you who have already completed your reviews. Please make sure to check whether new ones were assigned to you last week.
We have noticed, however, that we're still missing quite a few reviews from PC members, and in some cases — all of them. We totally understand — and are all struggling a bit to keep up. Still, we have to kindly ask you to make sure you have all your reviews (the original ones and those reassigned last week) completed by Friday noon, CET.
It's really important that we have as many of the remaining reviews done before Anne, Walter and I meet on Friday, so that we don't have to reassign too many in the final reviewing sprint between Christmas and the 28th, when we're supposed to release the reviews.
Sorry to be pestering you about this, but we're getting a little bit stressed and we do want us all to have nice holidays, without a sense of the impending reviewing doom... :)
All best,
Toma & Anne

Dear members of the Program Committee,
we just spent 2,5 hours reassigning missing reviews and only managed to
deal with panels, long papers and short papers. The figures of the
missing reviews were really scary, to be honest. We will reassign what
needs to be reassigned concerning posters and workshops tomorrow morning.
Conftool is still open for review so that you can complete the
additional reviews completely normally (and reviewers that haven't
completed their reviews can still do so).
So many evaluations were missing that we had to assign each of you quite
a bundle of reviews (as well as to a few colleagues who offered to help
and whom we can't thank enough for that service). The period to complete
the additional reviews runs from now to the 23rd at noon CET - be aware
that we might also allot you a few more posters or workshops tomorrow
morning (we will probably go for 2 reviews only for posters though).
Please check for conflicts of interests and/or areas of competence
issues as soon as you can. In case we need to reshuffle, it would be
best if we could do it tomorrow morning as well (we meet at 11:30 A.M. CET).
We thank you very, very much in advance for your precious help in what
is going to be a very full week.
All best,
Anne, Toma & Walter

Dear PC members,
first, thanks a lot to those of you who already did their reviews!
A few submissions have been withdrawn so that we now are at 765
submissions in total.
During today's meeting, we spotted a few more problematic cases (no
upload, submission in German) and reassigned them to PC members. Also,
due to review rejections, a series of submissions only had 2 or 3
reviewers left assigned. We have reassigned reviewers manually (based on
topic convergence) so that all panels and long papers have at least 4
reviewers and the other types of proposals at least 3.
Due to this reconfiguration, some of you now have a few additional
reviews to tend to (staying within the limit you have indicated).
We plan to send an e-mail to all reviewers on the 28th to remind them to
check if they need to reject reviews (well... and not to forget to
actually do the reviews), and to do a reviewer re-assignment round (if
needed) on the 30th.
All best,
Anne, together with Toma and Walter
