Someone emailed me saying they had caught this post. I had missed it. While I understand the sentiment behind this new rule, dropping it on us this close to the conference deadline is problematic. It was not in the CFP or anywhere I could find on the conference website. The latter be an issue for those who are not on this list. Previously, the rule has been one stand alone paper and participation in one panel as a solo author. Abstracts have been written and panels have been organized. This throws a wrench into my plans and wastes time already spent on organizing people. I would think this would be the case for my of us. What was the process on this last minute rule change? At this late date, the manner in which this was presented, and the fact that this information is not on the conference website leads me to challenge the reasonableness of this decision. -TED Ted M.

I'm beginning to get questions about whether you can submit multiple submissions to the IR-6 conference.
Our aim is to have the most people able to attend and present papers, and to make scheduling as straightforward as possible. Hence, the following guideline ...
Individuals may not have their name on more than 2 papers, and may not be individually responsible for presenting 2 papers. In other words, you may submit a single-author abstract, and you may co-author on another one -- but if both are accepted, your co-author will be expected to attend and present the second paper.
You might consider this the one person - one presentation rule with a maximum number of submissions of 2.
