Really appreciate this breakdown, but it only briefly touches on the human labour that goes into each paper. Does the ACM have any data on the amount of free labour that it is receiving from the academic community?
When conferences are cancelled, #publications still roll on. But this gives us a moment to step back and reconsider how we fund publications and different ways we might configure this moving forward. Here's a case study on CHI2020 publication financeshttps://medium.com/sigchi/how-should-the-sigchi-community-distribute-the-cost-of-publication-97adca5dae2a?source=friends_link&sk=4fe392a2f3b281ee4c8c369508128b12 …

I don't know of any accounting of free labour, but it is definitely substantial. arXiv annual reporting makes some estimates of this, perhaps SIGCHI should follow suit?

Thanks so much for writing this. The clear explanation is very helpful and I am so glad the whole community is being provided with the opportunity to provide input! Thanks

I'm repeating myself, but this is important: It would be great to see a concrete roadmap toward universal open access

Thanks Julie this is great. There is also a larger issue with how environmentally sustainable all of these conferences are (flying thousands of people around the world) and perhaps now is a good time to think about how we (as a community) are going to address this in the future.
