"Authors must submit two versions of their paper: a "publication" version that includes author/institution information, and an anonymized version. The goal of the anonymized version is to, as much as possible, allow the author(s) of the paper an unbiased review. The anonymized version should have ALL references to the authors removed (including author's names and affiliation plus identifying information within the body of the paper such as websites or related publications). Self-citations need not be removed if they are worded so that the reviewer doesn't know if the writer is citing himself/herself. That is, instead of writing "We reported on our first experiment in 2007 in a previous paper [1]", the writer might write "In 2007, an initial experiment was done in this area as reported in [1]."
Replace with:
"Authors must submit ONLY an anonymized version of the paper. The goal of the anonymized version is to, as much as possible, allow the author(s) of the paper an unbiased review.

If the paper is accepted for the conference and for publication, authors will be asked to complete a camera-ready copy that will include all appropriate author names, citations, and references."
We need to remove this paragraph:
