3Ballot Fatigue
Where do we go from here?
Combine proposals?
Quality gates?
Grant Gillis is interested in joining the ORC.
Action item: Jenni to get Grant added to the e-mail list.
We’ll start with Ballot Fatigue.
Are there particular quality gates that stand out? Hans haven’t seen the output form the international affiliates.
From Lloyd: if a domain submits a ballot but have xnumber of consecutive fails, they should sit out.
From Charles Parisot: 2 tickets a year. Dick didn’t think this helped the reviewer. Hans said, if there were 50 groups, 3 times per year *could* result in 150 ballot points (for 3 cycles) and 100 points for 2 cycles. There seems to be a trend about downward participation in the ballot pools.
From Charlie McCay, would like to see tied to project management. Tie project deliverables to ballot cycles.
Alexis: can we grandfather in existing funded projects.
Quality: attribute level descriptions but that will probably take more effort.
Quality: Change tracking. Best practices for model design and descriptive text. Jenni sent e-mail to editors list for pub facilitator’s guide and to the MnM for HDF. Ken McCaslin had also sent info to the editors list.
This is where Jenni lost her connection.
