CHAIR HOW-TO: Manage Reviewer Note

OVERVIEW

The Chairs may use the 'Reviewer Note' to see if the Reviewers performed certain tasks and/or to gather specific information from the Reviewer not otherwise obtained from other avenues.
In this case we will use the 'Reviewer Note' to have the Reviewer inform the Chairs if the Reviewer accepts the assignments given.
