[ECCV 2026] Paper Decision Appeals Discussion [D]

With the release of meta-reviews, ECCV sent out a google form for dissatisfied authors to submit an appeal for the following reasons:

1. Policy errors, e.g., reviewers or Area Chairs applied a policy that does not exist, or reviewers or Area Chairs applied policies that are not applicable for the contribution type of the paper;
2. Clerical errors, e.g., it is clear from the meta-review that an Area Chair intended to accept a paper but the paper was rejected; and
3. Obvious and major misunderstandings on the side of the reviewers or Area Chairs (historically, these are extremely rare).

Is anyone considering submitting an appeal? I was rejected with 6/4/3 final scores on criteria that policy and AC/Reviewer guidelines explicitly state my contribution type should not be penalized for. Also, according to their policies, if they were to use the criteria in their decision, they have to explicitly disagree with the declared contribution type and state so in the meta review (all three reviewers agreed with the declared contribution type and the AC does not mention changing the paper's type.)
