As the co-chair of that Global Internet offering, I beg to differ with Joe's opinion.
First, it is entirely subjective to claim that the fact that reviews were public reduced the number of submissions. As an author, I would love to see who is reviewing my paper. I know a lot of people who would. One could also attribute this to the existence of mini-papers at infocom: still that is not a fact either. The trickier part was to get TPC members that were bold enough to accept the openness. There were no problems doing that though.
