[Rigf_program] Promoting APrIGF in INET Bangkok?

[Paul Wilson]

Hi again Thip,

We've had an interesting discussion here in the APrIGF meeting, about a perceived need for more diversity in the proposals to APrIGF, which can still be submitted during the next 7 days, for a deadline on 14 June.

To promote more proposals in the time available, could we call on you please to promote the CFP during the INET meeting in Bangkok?

The link is here:

Thanks very much,

Paul.

>>> Following the assembly of the selection committee, committee members will submit their proposal ratings to the APrIGF secretariat, using the agreed ratings form. After the deadline for submission, the secretariat will publish a report of proposals showing the anonymised ratings received, average rating, and rank order from highest to lowest average rating.   The ratings given by specific (named) individual committee members will not be published.

>>> Selection Process
>>> -----------------
>>> 
>>> As its next meeting after publication of proposal ratings, the MSG will consider the list of rated proposals and select proposals in order of average rating, in consideration of diversity of the proposals, and possible merger of proposals which involve duplication of content, theme or issue.

>>> The final decision of the MSG will be made by consensus.  MSG members with personal involvement in any proposal (as proponent, panelist, subject, or otherwise) may participate in the discussion but may not block not the consensus of the MSG.

>>> After this meeting, the selected proposals (including proposals for mergers) will be published on the MSG mailing list and APrIGF website.
