>> APrIGF Proposal evaluation system
>> ---------------------------------
>>
>> Version: 1.0, June 2013
>>
>> This document describes the mechanisms for evaluating session proposals
>> (for workshops, plenaries or other sessions) submitted to the APrIGF, and
>> for selecting successful proposals.
>>
>>
>> A. Selection Committee
>> ----------------------
>>
>> A volunteer subcommittee (Selection Committee) of the MSG will be
>> assembled for the purpose of rating the proposals, as follows:
>>
>> 1. After a call issued by the MSG chair, volunteers will submit their
>> names and stakeholder affiliation (see below) to the MSG mailing list
>>
>> 2. Names will be accepted in order of appearance on the list, providing

>> than 10% of committee members.
>>
>> 3. Up to 20 volunteers will be accepted by this means (less if the
>> deadline passes before reaching this number)
>>
>> 4. The selected members of the Selection Committee will be published on
>> the MSG mailing list.
>>
>> Committee members serve in their individual capacity to further the aims
>> and success of the APrIGF, and not in a representative capacity for their
>> stakeholder grouping or organisation.
>>
>>
>> B. Stakeholder Groups
>> ---------------------
>>
>> The APrIGF recognises 4 stakeholder groups as follows:
>>
>> 1. Civil Society
>> 2. Technical and Academic
>> 3. Business
>> 4. Governmental
>>
>>
>> C. Criteria for Evaluation
>> -----------------------
>>
>> Proposals will be evaluated according to 3 criteria, interpreted
>> according to the following guidance:
>>
>> 1. Relevance
>>
>> Is the proposal relevant to the themes of this APrIGF meeting?  Are the
>> themes clearly stated and/or evident in the proposal?  Are the specific
>> issues to be addressed by the proposal also clear and relevant?
>>
>> 2. Completeness
>>
>> Does the proposal provide all information as requested in the CFP,
>> specifically:  discussion theme and issues, format and approach, and
>> panelists.  Is this information clear and complete enough to properly
>> describe an acceptable proposal?  Does it appear than panellists are
>> actually confirmed, or are they just invited, or only proposed?
>>
>> 3. Diversity
>>
>> Will the proposed session represent viewpoints from multiple stakeholder,
>> geographic, economic and/or cultural perspectives?  Are listed panelists
>> properly qualified to represent one or more distinct stakeholder groups?
>>  Will the session contribute to the overall diversity and multi-stakeholder
>> representation of the APrIGF event?
>>
>>
>> Each proposal will be evaluated on each criterial, with a score between 1
>> and 4 as follows:
>>
>> 4 = criteria is fully satisfied
>> 3 = acceptable
>> 2 = needs improvement
>> 1 = absent
>>
>> (giving each proposal a total score between 4 and 12.  For averaging
>> purposes, a rating of 0 will not be counted)
>>
>>
>> D. Proposal Ratings
>> -------------------
>>
>> 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.
>>
>>
>> E. 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.
>>
>> During this discussion, selection committee members may modify their
>> ratings, providing this can be achieved in a secure real-time manner.
>>
>> 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 submit rating for such proposals and 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.
