osdi-author-response

separate

Use when handling author-side dialogue in an OSDI cycle — which in 2026 means no rebuttal at all: pre-empting objections inside the submission, then treating the conditional-accept shepherd exchange as the real author response, with a protocol for mandated revisions and for cycles that reinstate a response phase.

When to use

• pre-empting objections inside the submission
• treating the conditional-accept shepherd exchange as the real author response
• protocol for mandated revisions
• cycles that reinstate a response phase
• pre-mortem rebuttal on the draft
• building a change matrix for shepherding
• managing the shepherding calendar
• handling mandates that demand new experiments

When not to use

• drafting a rebuttal for venues with a standard author-response period
