We want to start an internal process that would ensure we end up with better proposals for the KR on publishable artifacts. This would mirror the workings of a conference in some ways. We have an areas of work doc (this is currently in the works). Everyone across the ml-team will be asked to send proposals/abstracts by a certain deadline after which they will be peer reviewed. After peer-reviews, the authors will update the proposal and submit again for a final submission.

Based on the final proposals, we will take the best/most relevant proposals and work on them further towards publishing. This would also mean, people setting aside some bandwidth to work on these towards a publishable outcome.

• 10th Jan : Slack posts requesting for abstracts.
• 24th Jan : 1st Deadline for submission.
• 7th Feb : Final deadline for submission.
• 10th Feb : Get proposals peer-reviewed
• 14th Feb : Final Submission after addressing reviews.

We will be carrying out peer reviews and submissions using github pull requests.

Some conventions to follow : - New proposal submissions are done via PRs. - 3 reviewers will be assigned to every PR and they will need to review within a week. - once reviews have been addressed the reviwer can give a go ahead by mentioning +1

• the PR will be merged only after all reviewers have given a +1.

Note : Internal guidelines for reviews can be found here and though it was written for an article, most of it applies here as well.
