The reviewers reached a clear consensus on this paper after careful reviews, reading through the author response, and participating in a discussion about this paper. The reviewers found that this paper makes an important contribution to the field in enforcing fairness constraints for offline contextual bandits, and is well supported theoretically and a solid empirical evaluation for confirmation. The reviewers did find several areas where the paper could be strengthened, most especially in moving as much of the formal analysis, proofs, or at least proof sketches into the main text. The authors have responded well to these suggestions and I expect that the final version of this paper will incorporate these changes to the full extent possible within the space constraints. Overall, this seems to be a strong paper and well worth the attention of the NeurIPS community.
