> members, according to the following definitions. A paper author has a
> conflict of interest with a PC member when and only when one or more of the
> following conditions holds:
>
>    - The PC member is a co-author of the paper.
>    - The PC member has been a co-worker in the same company or university
>    within the past two years.
>    - For student interns, the student is conflicted with their
>    supervisors and with members of the same research group. If the student no
>    longer works for the organization, then they are not conflicted with a PC
>    member from the larger organization.
>    - The PC member has been a collaborator within the past two years.
>    - The PC member is or was the author's primary thesis advisor, no
>    matter how long ago.
>    - The author is or was the PC member's primary thesis advisor, no
>    matter how long ago.
>    - The PC member is a relative or close personal friend of the author.

> For any other situation where the authors feel they have a conflict with a

> who will mark the conflict if appropriate. Papers with incorrect or
> incomplete conflict of interest information are subject to rejection.
