Dear Distributed Computing Community,
as has been discussed at the PODC business meeting and on Zulip, a task
force has been formed to propose options for (i) changing the PODC/DISC
deadline schedule and/or (ii) moving to a publication model based on
journal-style reviewing.
We have prepared a document outlining our proposals and the underlying
rationales, alongside a discussion of their (perceived) merits:

We now would like to ask you for your input. Please do so by filling out
this survey after reading the above document:
https://forms.gle/h6g4fM65gLj7XDRw8
We expect that carefully reading the document and responding to the
survey takes 60-90 minutes. We apologize for the inconvenience, but hope
that you agree that these questions are sufficiently important to
warrant this effort.
The *deadline *for responses is *Tuesday, October 22, 2020, at 23:59,
AoE *(i.e., one week from now).
*
*Stefan Schmid has agreed to summarize and discuss the results in the
next edition of the EATCS Bulletin. We encourage a community discussion
based on this article and the (published) survey results, for which a
chat platform will be avaiable; details will follow in due time.
This discussion should lead up to a community meeting at DISC (Oct 12 -
16), where informed decisions can be made.
Please feel free to approach us with any questions or concerns.
Best regards,
Christian Cachin
Faith Ellen
Yuval Emek
Rachid Guerraoui
Christoph Lenzen (chair)
David Peleg
Jukka Suomela
(the task force members)
