There was a problem hiding this comment. What about commitment length? Are they committing to be available for a year? two? will they have an opportunity to opt out? i'm probably being too picky though and it is probably fine as is, feel free to ignore. There was a problem hiding this comment. I think it's important - updated to say 1 year and that they can opt out at any time. Then we can repeat this in a year and ensure we don't waste time assigning abstracts to reviewers who no longer want to participate. |
