CHAIR HOW-TO: Manage Senior Meta-Reviewer Bidding
OVERVIEW
Senior Meta-Reviewers can sometimes bid for Meta-Reviewers. Whereas Meta-Reviewers and Reviewers bid for papers, Senior Meta-Reviewers bid for Meta-Reviewers.
Here are the four different bid values Meta-Reviewers can use, and what they mean:
Eager: passionate, excited to bid on the Meta=Reviewer
Willing: inclined to oversee the Meta-Reviewer
In a pinch: will oversee the Meta-Reviewer only in the case of absolute necessity
Not Willing: will not oversee the Meta-Reviewer at all
Note
The term 'Not Entered' is not a bid value.
