Yes, I use the following
5: Absolute Accept (for me)
4: Should be in the program
3: Ok
2: Probably reject
1: Absolute Reject (for me)
0: No vote (either no vote yet, or really no opinion -- although try to vote on most of the talks).
I try not to look at other votes when I'm choosing. I think it's good if everyone gave their own vote, not influenced by others.
Once we've all done this we'll likely find a natural boundary (talks above a certain value will be accepted). After this the fun begins :-). We can look for talks that some PC members thought should be rejected but are in, or talks that other members gave a 5 star that are currently out. Moving around these talks will be the purpose of our meetings later this month.
Does this help?
