[sigcomm] CCR editorial notes -- please post !

[Diot Christophe]

Good :) all editorial notes are sent to 2 area editors who are asked to
check and verify that it is worth publishing (i.e. that the information
in there is of interest to the community). That's part of a sanity check
for me. I should have said that. 

However, I'm not saying that it is what happened to your paper. The
process is still new and we are still adjusting it. I'm sorry if you
have been an early victim of a decision process glitch.

unless you've recently changed policy, past personal experience  
indicates that there is more to the "sanity check" than you suggest.  
I'd encourage you to be more specific about what kind of review  
editorial notes undergo.

(Background: We had originally submitted [1] as a position paper for  
the editorial section of CCR and got what one might call a "technical  
review light". That doesn't seem to go along with the policy you  
outline above.)
