Tags: * blind (S)ACs to reviewers
"Thanks for your effort. The famous ICML 2020 experiment and the statistics of the current ARR system
signify that the people who assign reviewers to papers and the people who make the final acceptance/rejection
decisions, shouldn't be able to see authors' personal information. As it is important to hide the author
information from the reviewers, for the same reason, it is important to hide this information from those
who assign the reviewers and those who make the final decision. We all know that how easy it is for
a meta-reviewer to arrange a set of reviewers such that the outcome be an acceptance or a rejection.
We all know that how easy it is for a meta-reviewer to provide a favorable meta-review for a bad set
of reviews or vice versa. To close this loophole the authors information should be hidden from those
who are involved in handling the paper."
