    <p><font face="Times New Roman,serif" size="5">Dear Duo and Chenhao,<br>
        <br>
        Thank you for the follow-up. We have just completed the eRights
        forms again for both papers:<br>
        - Paper #11 (hotstorage26-3): The Host Is Not Idle:
        Computational SSDs for Host-Free Checkpointing in Multimodal LLM
        Training<br>
        - Paper #23 (hotstorage26-4): GraceSSD: Per-File Reliability
        Hints for Error-Tolerant Machine Learning Storage<br>
        <br>
        As the TAPS staff mentioned, we have reset the eRights forms to
        resolve the following issue:<br>
        During the TAPS submission process, we found that the author
        email addresses were automatically populated from the eRights
        form into the final generated paper, which conflicts with our
        institution's policy of not disclosing the authors' email
        addresses (except the corresponding author's).<br>
        TAPS Support initially advised us to reset the eRights form and
        re-submit it without the email addresses. However, after
        contacting ACM, we confirmed that the email addresses are a
        mandatory field, so TAPS Support has instead agreed to hide the
        co-author email addresses on their side after the final
        submission is processed.<br>
        <br>
        Now that we have finished the eRights forms, we will upload the
        LaTeX sources for both papers as soon as the TAPS links arrive.<br>
        We would be grateful if you could forward us the submission link
        whenever it becomes available.<br>
        Also, please note that TAPS may need some additional time after
        the submission to apply the email-hiding change.<br>
        <br>
        Thank you again for your continued support.</font></p>

                      Call for Papers pointed<br>
                      to an older version of the ACM template. If you
                      used that version for<br>
                      your original submission, please update your

                      2. Complete ACM eRights Form<br>
                      <br>
                      The authors should have received ACM eRights forms
                      from a separate<br>
                      email. Please complete this form promptly and
                      carefully; the title,<br>
                      author names, affiliations, and other metadata
                      entered in eRights should<br>
                      be accurate and consistent with the camera-ready

                      papers.*<br>
                      <br>
                      The eRights form will require the ORCID of all

                      this text in their paper.<br>
                      <br>
                      As rights management emails are sent from an
                      automated system, these may<br>
                      wind up in SPAM folders. Please make sure the SPAM
