Key Points

  • The author filed a report against their meta-reviewer in the March ARR cycle and has not received any response, with the ACL commitment deadline approaching in about 24 hours.
  • The post asks how long ARR typically takes to respond to such reports and whether a response is guaranteed.
  • It weighs whether to commit to ACL 2026 anyway or proceed with the March 2026 cycle and explain meta-review issues in the revision doc.
  • The author invites others who have faced similar situations to share advice.

We filed a report against our meta-reviewer March 12, 9:00 AM AoE (well before the March 12 11:59 PM AoE deadline). Since then, we've received no response from the meta reviewer.

With the ACL commitment deadline approaching in 24 hours, we're unsure how to proceed. A few questions:

  1. How long does ARR typically take to respond to such reports?

  2. Is a response even guaranteed?

  3. Is it wise to commit to ACL 2026 anyway without receiving any resolution to our report or should we go with March 2026 cycle with explaining how meta reviews are wrong in revision doc?

Has anyone dealt with a similar situation? Any advice would be appreciated!
