NIPS & double blind reviewing

[Cyril Goutte]

Dear connectionists,

This seems like a good time to point to one of Luc Devroye's
"musings":

The case against blind refereeing
http://cgm.cs.mcgill.ca/~luc/blindreferee.html

which actually contains some amusing new arguments in addition
to the old stuff.


Would it be conceivable that NIPS take an innovative step in
the opposite direction by becoming one of the first conferences
to adopt fully open refereeing ?
(ie publicising also referees identities)


	Cyril.
