ICML 2027 chair crowdsources reform ideas; researcher proposes deadlines ahead of ICLR notices

Andrew Wilson, Program Chair for ICML 2027, publicly asked for creative suggestions on running the conference: handling the explosion of AI slop and submission growth, fixing reviewing, incentivizing high-quality creative work, and cutting bureaucracy.
RL researcher MarlosCMachado responded with a concrete proposal: set the ICML deadline one week before the ICLR notification date. His argument: if NeurIPS, ICML and ICLR dates fall out of sync, every researcher faces a painful choice between submitting now and missing the next deadline, or waiting four months for a better version; better alignment would ease the crunch.
