            style="font-family:"Malgun Gothic",sans-serif">Dear
            Chenhao and Duo,<br>
            <br>
            Thank you for the update regarding the 75% TAPS status.<br>
            <br>
            We would like to explain why we have not yet given the final
            author approval.<br>
            Both papers now compile correctly in TAPS, so processing
            itself is no longer the issue. However, the generated proofs
            still display every co-author's email address on the title
            page, which conflicts with our institution's policy of not
            disclosing individual author email addresses (except the
            corresponding author's).<br>
            <br>
            We have therefore requested TAPS Support to suppress the
            co-author email addresses from the published PDF and HTML
            outputs. TAPS has agreed to apply this change on their side,
            but it has not yet been reflected in the current proofs. For
            this reason, we are intentionally holding off on approving
            the final version until the corrected proof is generated.<br>
            <br>
            As soon as TAPS completes this correction and the proof
            renders as intended, we will approve both papers immediately
            so that the proceedings are not delayed. We will keep you
            posted on the progress, and please let us know if anything
            further is needed from our side in the meantime.<br>
            <br>
            Thank you again for your patience and continued support.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

                    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.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
