sigcomm-author-response

Use when drafting an ACM SIGCOMM rebuttal or executing a shepherd-run one-shot revision — triaging reviewer issues, writing a decision-focused anonymous rebuttal for the discussion phase, and building the revision packet (point-by-point response, change-marked manuscript, and list of changes) against the required-changes contract.

# SIGCOMM Author Response

SIGCOMM has two distinct author-facing replies, and conflating them is a strategic error.
The **rebuttal** is a short argument during the discussion phase; the **one-shot revision** is
a month-long, shepherd-managed contract. Reopen the current CFP to confirm the mechanics
before drafting.

## First, know which reply you are writing

| Signal in the letter | You are in | The move |
|---|---|---|
| Reviews plus an invitation to respond, no verdict | Rebuttal / discussion phase | Answer the decision-critical objection concisely |
| A merits summary and a list of required changes | One-shot revision | Treat the list as a binding contract; resubmit with a packet |
| An early notification of rejection | Early reject | No reply reopens it; redirect the work |
