<p>Dear Eva!</p>
<p>Dear Paul!</p>
<p>Dear all!</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thanks for bringing this up! <span style="font-size: 12pt;">There has never been an edition of Semantics without a deadline extension. So no big deal ...</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br>
</span></p>
<p>Agenda for action:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>1) Duration:</p>
<p>As R&I chairs please tell us <span style="font-size: 12pt;">, whether deadlines should be extended by one week or two weeks.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">As soon as we have the info <span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, EmojiFont, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", NotoColorEmoji, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Android Emoji", EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;">Thomas
& me will</span> adjust the documents and the website. </span><br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>2) Communications:</p>
<p>- If it's okay for you, I can inform the PC about the new dates.</p>
<p>- Thomas & me will also do the tweeting and I will trigger a bulk mail via our list to inform the community.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>3) Review process:</p>
<p>Once deadlines are due, I would like to hand over the communications and coordination to the R&I chairs. It basically starts with enabling bidding in Easycahirs, which triggers a mail to the PC members. </p>
<p>As Victor proposed it would be good to have a call between R&I chaitrs and special track chairs to get a coomon understanding of te review process and assigment of papers.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>4) Coordination call:</p>
<p>What about next Tuesday, April 21, 16:00 @ Zoom?</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>BR,</p>
<p>Tassilo</p>

<p>Hi Victor, Tassilo, everyone,</p>
<p>this is mostly relevant for the general chairs and anyone involved in the R&I and special tracks, but I am using the list, hopefully no one thinks it generates too much "spam".</p>
<p>I had an e-mail exchange with Paul today, discussing a few next steps for the R&I track(s).
<br>
</p>
<p>Since the abstract deadline is approaching (18th) I took a look in EasyChair, and so far we have 9 abstract submissions for the R&I tracks (including special tracks). Of course, we all know that most submissions come at the last minute, but just FYI. </p>
</div>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
<div>
<p>However, this got me thinking about the next steps, which in turn raised a few questions.</p>
<p>First one: I assume we will do the already planned deadline extension? When do we announce it? Me an Paul were thinking of this Friday as a good time, but can we "schedule" that to happen already (immediately now, or on Friday), or do we then have to contact
whoever will actually post it on the website/social media/EasyChair etc.? And who notifies the PC members in EasyChair of the new dates?<br>
</p>
</div>
</blockquote>
<div>Yes, I think we should announce the extension perhaps already on thursday ? </div>
<div>- Thomas should be able to change pages on the website. </div>
<div>- Me or Tassilo or you can inform the pc members.</div>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
<div>
<p></p>
<p>Second, I guess that we should open the bidding for papers by the PC members right after the abstract deadline has passed (so on April 25th, with the new deadline), which means that also this is the time when we decide if we have got a "sufficient number
of submissions", right? <br>
</p>
</div>
</blockquote>
<div>- Yes, indeed </div>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
<div>
<p></p>
<p>I really hope we will get a reasonable amount of good submissions, but worst case we will only get a few of them, and I would not want to bother reviewers with just a handful of crappy submissions, and keep the few good ones "locked into" our review process
for a month, if in the end we need to reject most of them and we have to cancel the whole thing anyway due to lack of papers to accept. Do we have already some plan for such a worst-case scenario from the general chairs? Do we plan a call at this point in
time to discuss, e.g. with all the special track chairs as well? Or are you simply leaving it up to me and Paul to make a decision on the fly, when we see the number of abstracts/papers and look through them?</p>
</div>
</blockquote>
<div>- I agree. I would say that as PC members you could do a super quick sanity check whether the submissions are 'serious' or not . If they are, then they are sent to PC members. I would say that given the online version of this year's program, we can go
ahead with even 3 accepted papers. In previous years, we had an acceptance rate of ~30% so that would mean that with 10 submissions we should hit this number. </div>
<div>- I would be happy to have a chat with you and the PC chairs (incl special track chairs) where we can discuss this. Either directly after the new abstract deadline (27 apr or so?) or after the actual deadline (4 may). Or both?</div>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
<div>
<p>Hopefully we will not end up in that scenario, but just want to be prepared, and have some decision dates put into my calendar.<br>
</p>
