Re: [council] FW: [soac-discussion] FW: Communication with ACSO on the next RTs
Hi Kristina,
In the drafting team and when Council last discussed this, there appeared to be
consensus for following a standard procedure of one per SG (if they want it),
recognizing the Selectors would make the final call which gets on. This would
be a lot easier, we wouldn't have to negotiate among SGs etc. Plus it is
possible that if people know there's only two slots, fewer will apply, and
maybe not every SG will sole endorse a person in each cycle...
Could that work for you?
Best,
Bill
