Reflections on the FAccT 2026 Review Process

Welcome to the 9th Annual ACM Conference on Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency! We look forward to gathering with you in Montréal soon! As Program Chairs, we wanted to explain how papers were reviewed and selected, so that the community has transparency about the process and to reflect on possible improvements for future years. The biggest innovation this year was the addition of a revise and resubmit process. This raised new opportunities and challenges as outlined below. Two other major changes were the requirement of a new Generative AI Usage Statement and the adoption of the OpenReview platform for submission and reviews.
