Re: [WISPA] NTIA Seeks Volunteers to Review Broadband Applications
I've got a friend who reviews applications on a contract basis for the federal Dept of Education. Very common practice when so many applications come in at once. Their process is to have three reviewers look at each application. They average the three scores and then only a percentage move to the next round. The first review process is typically looking for T's to be crossed and I's to be dotted ensuring you met all the requirements of the grant, and then their scoring metric is used. She told me it's not uncommon for upwards of 50 percent to be dropped during this round. YMMV.

Well...it's better than the idea of reassigning people from the fish and wildlife to read BTOP applications (we've been talking to NTIA, and I kid you not, this was one of the ideas thrown out) -Original Message- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Israel Lopez-LISTS Sent: Thursday, July 09, 2009 4:20 PM To: 'WISPA General List' Subject: [WISPA] NTIA Seeks Volunteers to Review Broadband Applications Did you guys hear about this? http://www.networkworld.com/news/2009/070909-ntia-seeks-volunteers-to-review.html?page=1 Some people think its scary, but I think if done with enough guidance Volunteer Reviewers could cull a lot of crap out of this program applications. -Israel WISPA Wants You!

Sounds like a good job for ACORN. They've done very well at finding volunteers for election fraud and such. ;) === Eric Merkel ejmerkel.li...@gmail.com On Thu, Jul 9, 2009 at 2:19 PM, Israel Lopez-LISTSilopezli...@sandboxitsolutions.com wrote: Did you guys hear about this? http://www.networkworld.com/news/2009/070909-ntia-seeks-volunteers-to-review.html?page=1 Some people think its scary, but I think if done with enough guidance Volunteer Reviewers could cull a lot of crap out of this program applications. -Israel WISPA Wants You!
