This is not only easy now, but a condition for a conference being allowed to 
affiliate with PACMPL. Because PACMPL is a journal, if a paper is accepted at 
any PACMPL venue then the authors are not required to attend or present at all.

This option is often not well advertised in advance, which I guess is largely 
because much of the community (including me, until recently!) is unaware of it. 
In the interests of transparency and inclusion, I think we should do a better 
job of making all potential authors aware of this option before they submit.
