**What CARES does.** CARES is dedicated to providing completely confidential support to members of the programming language community. We listen to members who come to us for advice or who just want to talk. If they would like advice on what kinds of actions they can take, we do our best to provide such advice.

**Confidentiality.** When a person approaches a CARES member in confidence, that CARES member will not share any information about the situation with anyone else without that person's explicit permission, unless there is an imminent threat or danger of some kind. Indeed, CARES members do not share the details of contacts made with other CARES members unless permitted.

As a result, our annual reports are brief. They do not contain details about the types of contacts that CARES members have made and they do not even contain specific numbers of contacts. The reports are structured this way to protect the privacy of those that approach us.

We have received open, public feedback from a number of members of the community expressing the fact that they appreciate the creation of the committee---they view it as a sign that the programming languages community takes community climate and our code of conduct seriously. The fact the committee has received confidential contacts is also evidence that the community would like mechanisms to discuss matters of harassment, discrimination, or ethics in private.

OOPSLA papers are published in the PACMPL, which [states in its procedures under governance](https://sigplan.org/PACMPL/) that "authors of all accepted papers are encouraged (but not required) to present their work at the corresponding conference". To maximise the in-person experience, we ask all the authors who choose to present their work at the conference to do so **fully in person** by attending the conference and registering for the full 3-day OOPSLA event. We are currently unable to support remote participation, and we suggest that the authors explore the optional "SIGPLAN Track" that is provided by some of the SIGPLAN conferences to allow the recent PACMPL published work to be presented in person for the first time.

**OOPSLA Policy on General Chair Submissions**
20

+
The SPLASH General Chair is permitted to submit papers to OOPSLA. However, a General Chair who submits must not be involved in the reviewing process in any way, including selecting RC chairs directly, overseeing the review of papers, or serving in any review-chair-like role (e.g., assisting with reviewer assignments or acting as an admin on the submission system). The RC chairs should ensure that a non-conflicted Associate Editor (AE, called "Associate Chair" in some OOPSLA documentation) handles any paper involving the General Chair. This policy is supported in part by the fact that OOPSLA now has two RC co-chairs, which makes it easier to manage such conflicts fairly. Note that the [SIGPLAN Guidelines for the General Chair](/Resources/Guidelines/GenChair/) recommend that the General Chair not submit, but the OOPSLA Steering Committee has determined that submission is allowed provided the conditions above are met.
