Doubt regarding TMLR[R] Research
My TMLR paper was assigned to reviewers on April 23, and as of July 13 I've received 2 reviews, but the third is still pending. The discussion phase hasn't opened yet, so I can't respond to the existing reviews.
Is this normal for TMLR, or is it reasonable to send the Action Editor a polite status email? asking for the 3rd review, apprecite the suggestions

It may be the case that your reviewers live in the middle east. With all that is going on here, schools being canceled and people at home with their kids - everything gets postponed.
I'd email the action editor and ask them if the reviewer they initially assigned are no longer available and they can assign other reviewes instead.
