How will SIGGRAPH 2006 address network failures?
SIGGRAPH 2006 is only responsible for the availability of the submission server. If the Student Volunteers Chair is notified of a hardware or service failure for the submission system, she will authorize an appropriate adjustment (and will prominently post notices at several locations). All other network failures between your location and the SIGGRAPH server will not be exempted from the deadline. Please submit early to avoid connectivity-support problems or last-minute submission server performance. Note: The local clock on the submission server determines the final submission deadline time.
