icsme-author-response

Use when drafting an IEEE ICSME author response during the double-anonymous author-response period, covering the early-decision cut that decides whether you respond at all, answering the PC's specific "Response Recommended" questions with existing evidence, staying anonymous, and doing it in one round with no Major Revision safety net.

# ICSME Author Response

Use this after ICSME early decisions are released. ICSME gives authors **one speaking turn**, and
whether you get it at all is decided first: at the start of the author-response period, papers are
sorted into **Accept**, **Reject**, or **Response Recommended**. Only "Response Recommended" papers
write a rebuttal, and because there is **no Major Revision round**, that rebuttal is the last word
before the final decision.

## First: read which bucket you are in

- **Early Accept** — do not write a defensive response; move to camera-ready and the ROSE artifact.
- **Early Reject** — no response is requested; a response would not be read. Reroute or rebuild.
- **Response Recommended** — you are in contention. The PC has specific questions; the rest of this
  skill is for you.
