Tags: * for data collection * for diversity of conferences * for tracks

"The down side of allowing reviews to be for multiple conferences (which might at this point even have 
the same name, much like issues of a journal) is to excessively standardize conferences. This might 
also clash with the track requirement (and I like tracks), as not all conferences might (want to) have 
the same tracks. We are ACL. We should ask authors/reviewers permission to use the data they submit 
to train machine learning systems which might ultimately be able to help us in the reviewing process. 
There is a range of options, from serving as extra/replacement reviewers to pointing out similar papers 
or plagiarism. "
