[split] Voynich 2026 Conference QUESTIONS/COMMENTS

[Koen G]

@Koen: Congratulations. I just noticed that you got a call as new Programme Committee Member for this conference. What is your role there? Are you a jury member or a key note speaker?

Thanks! Just jury for me, I haven't had to do anything yet 

A word of warning in this regard; several members of the committee (not just me) are reading the forum, and the reviewing is supposed to be double blind: abstract submissions must be completely anonymized. So for those who submitted a paper, it is best not to advertise it in advance. 

I know of one paper's author and subject, but this luckily does not affect me: there are many members on the committee who are better positioned to review computation-heavy submissions.

Another point I want to make clear in advance is that members of the committee will not get to judge their own papers, obviously. So if I (or Rene, Claire...)  were to submit a paper, it would be passed on anonymously to three uninvolved reviewers.
