RE: [xliff-promotion] [urgent] SC Review/Feedback request - Call for Papers XLIFF Symposium

["Schnabel, Bryan S" <bryan.s.schnabel@tektronix.com>]

Hi David and Yves and SC members,

I tend to agree with Yves on this. I've submitted quite a few papers over the years, and cannot remember ever needing to a third party broker to submit.

David, what advantages does the EasyChair method bring? 

Thanks,

Bryan
Ps. I think the two of us signing the call for papers is fine.

I think you are over-estimating the number of people using EasyChair. And regardless, I think one should not have to register to any specific Web site to just submit a proposal (that may not get accepted). I can just send it by email for LocWorld. Why would you need to register for doing the same thing for the XLIFF days?

I dislike having mandatory registrations foisted on me: Most of the time you cannot de-register and the third-party doesn't respect its privacy policy. Not everyone is like me obviously, but I suspect I'm not alone with such feelings.

But more simply: It just makes thing a lot more complicated for the possible speakers.

Just my 2 cents.

Cheers,
-yves
