List item 5 is grammatically unclear (“co-chair (general/program) of a future conference…”). Consider adding an article/subject so it’s clear the author-category is, e.g., “a general/program co-chair of a future conference…” (and keep the parallel structure with the rest of the list).

| The program chair will make reasonable efforts to ensure that the manuscripts submitted are made available to and reviewed only by the program committee and supplemental reviewers acting on behalf of the program committee. Neither SIGSOFT nor ACM guarantee the confidentiality of the submitted manuscripts, and accept no liability in the event that the manuscripts are distributed beyond the reviewers. | ||

| [^1]: For arXiv reports, the last modification date matters. For conference papers, the conference date matters. For journal papers, the acceptance date matters. For example, if an arXiv paper is accepted at the conference, the conference date will be the date used in COI calculation. |

There’s an extra double-space before “For example” here (“matters. For example”). Consider normalizing spacing to a single space for consistency.
