Is that the absolute bar to meet in order to contribute to "The" "Web" Conference, and as a side effect be considered a scholar in 2018? I'm not looking for the reasons why IW3C2 is obeying the 3rd party publisher's requirements, but instead how IW3C2 comes to the conclusion that this is a desirable thing for the community. Was there a survey to investigate what may be appropriate for the community? If so, where is the data? If not, did a few of you privately decide this for hundreds of researchers? -Sarven http://csarven.ca/#i
