I attended to Nigel's presentation at the EC13 rump session and fully agree on that our communitty has to grow up and make some drastic change in his communication scheme which is by far suboptimal and counterproductive at this time. I support moving to something completely new as soon as possible.
A scheme with open access, permanent submission, fast response, and not necessary any public presentation would be great. One concern is that the review process of the unique submission must be more reliable than what we have so far. I have seen many bad reviews in IACR conferences recently.
Also: the scheme should make clear what is the role of the co-chairs (or the "college of co-chairs") and the reviewer in charge (or "editor").
Many thanks to the board members for working on this evolution!
