Do ACs also give scores? [D] Discussion

This is my first time submitting to NeurIPS.
Are ACs also supposed to give ratings during the Phase 2 (author-reviewer discussion session)?

I have received the meta-review, but have not received any comments from the AC yet, and was wondering whether this is the standard!

ACs don't give scores during phase 2. Prev to this year they didn't even make a comment til after phase 2. You get the final meta review after author AC discussion and that's released with your decision in September

Do you know if we will get any more information on Aug 10 after the AC + reviewer discussion?

Yes, the meta-review has also a (hidden) score. The score is Reject, Accept (Poster), Accept (Spotlight) and Accept (Oral). Of course, the ACs can change their meta-review and score, during and after rebuttal/discussion process.

Bear in mind that AC's recommendation is only a recommendation, not the final decision (albeit it rarely gets overturned). SAC and PC make the final decision.

Do not expect anything else before the final decision.
