Use when reasoning about how an ACM CoNEXT submission is evaluated, covering double-anonymous review, the two-round TPC process with online discussion and a TPC meeting, the Accept / Reject / one-shot "major" revision decision categories, the journal-style revise-and-resubmit re-read by the original reviewers, shepherding, and how CoNEXT's two-cycle process differs from SIGCOMM and NSDI.

# CoNEXT Review Process

Model the pipeline before interpreting any single review. CoNEXT's process is **journal-style**:
papers are PACMNET articles, and the **one-shot "major" revision is a first-class decision**, not a
soft rejection. The most consequential mental shift for authors arriving from a plain accept/reject
conference is that a major revision is a genuine revise-and-resubmit round re-read by the same
reviewers — closer to a journal R&R — and that you get exactly **one** shot at it.

## Process model

- Submission and review run on **HotCRP** with **double-anonymity**: authors and reviewers are
