Dear all,
We're continuing to receive unsolicited, generic-sounding requests to join the Program Committee of CHum 2026, and will no doubt continue to receive them for CHum 2027. As previously discussed, these probably come from people who are looking to pad their CVs in order to support visa, job, or graduate school applications. The writers don't appear to have any specific expertise or interest in computational humour.
I don't think it makes sense for us to spend the time to respond to these messages, and so won't be sending any more responses myself. If no one else wants to respond to them either, perhaps we can just ignore them.
Regards, Tristan
