Thanks Chengetai, and, here is a link to the compilation of all proposals
in one PDF File.

http://wgig.org/info/Workshop_Proposal_List.2014v3.pdf

It is more than 16 Mb, so that I cannot attach it here.

It should make it easy to read through during our busy evaluation
discussion.

thanks to Anriette

Pleas see attached excel file for standard deviations (please treat as not
official).

Chengetai,
I have an odd request. Is there any way to quickly use your spreadsheet to
calculate the standard deviation of the scores given to each proposal???
I’ve been on LOTS of program committees and as a rule some of the very
best, most intriguing and most novel (and most controversial) sessions are
NOT the ones that get the best scores.  Instead, they are the ones that
people either love or hate.  So, if you could identify the proposals that
got several 1s and 5s, that would be very helpful.

Thanks!!  See you on Monday.

Mike Nelson

Dear All,

Please find attached:


   1.  An excel file with the collation of the MAG workshop evaluations for
   our discussions next week. The file includes the grades; an indication
   whether the proposer, co-proposer or organizations base is from a
   developing, transitional economy or host country and links to a somewhat
   anonymized workshop description of the proposal.   A summarized version of
   comments made by the evaluators is also on the second line of each proposal
   record. It is organized in tabs
   2. An empty draft schedule.


As I recall there was a tentative agreement to have no more than 10
concurrent streams for workshops (apart from the main sessions). After
subtracting the 12 open forum requests + 7 Dynamic coalition requests + 4
best practice sessions that leaves 97 (98) slots free. If we take 97 slots
as a starting figure for discussions then the base line cut off point is
3.642  giving us 97 workshops. (Adjustments may be made for developing
countries or under represented areas)

The Secretariat has not taken into consideration space for the
interregional dialogues (for regional and national IGF’s) and adjustments
have to be made if the MAG wants to give best practices more time or if it
is felt that the number of concurrent sessions have to be reduced when
certain main/focus  sessions are taking place etc..

This is just a seed to the discussion. The Secretariat has also prepared an
option and statistics which will be shown and explained at the start of the
Tuesday session, again this is  for consideration and adjustment.

best regards

Chengetai
