Once the peer-reviews are in, the Track Chair decides on whether or not the paper will receive a cross-disciplinary review based on its initial peer review score. You should NOT assume that you were assigned a representative sample of submissions, nor should you adjust your scores to match the overall conference acceptance rates. FAccT is an ACM conference and as such, we will review papers in alignment with the ACM conference and as such, we will review papers in alignment with the The discussion phase is especially important for borderline submissions and submissions where the reviewers assessments differ; most submissions fall into one or other of these categories, so please take this phase seriously. Papers that (1) describe experiments with users and/or deployed systems (e.g., websites or apps), or (2) rely on sensitive user data (e.g., social network information), must follow basic precepts of ethical research and subscribe to community norms.
