Use when drafting ACM FAccT author responses — the short factual-correction rebuttal after preliminary reviews, and, distinctively for the 2026-new process, the Revise-and-resubmit round where you address Area-Chair-prioritized concerns from a mixed CS+law+social-science panel, map each to a concrete change, and survive a re-review while keeping mutual anonymity.

Use this after FAccT reviews are released. FAccT has **two distinct speaking turns**, and conflating
them is a common mistake: a **short rebuttal** for factual corrections, and — if you receive a
**Revise** decision (new for the 2026 edition) — a full **revision plus response** that addresses
Area-Chair-prioritized concerns and is **re-reviewed**. Both must respect mutual anonymity: nothing
you write may reveal authors, institutions, field sites, or a repository owner.
