Wolf,
We must remember this is an excersice we are doing for the first time, I
think it is ok to share the information but other councillors may keep it in
a private communication with Ken.
I agree with Chuck that we can discuss it and improve the process with the
experience.
Regards
Olga

> “Thinking about all Eligible Projects taken together, which one (or more)
> represents your *best perception* of AVERAGE in terms of Value as defined
> in Section 6.3.2.  For example, suppose that you happen to think that
> Project “X” is an AVERAGE project in terms of Value compared to all the
> others.  Once you have “anchored” your perceptual scale in this way, then it
> is a matter of deciding whether the other projects are Far Below, Moderately
> Below, Slightly Below, Slightly Above, Moderately Above, or Far Above that
> “average” project in terms of this factor.
>
> If you find it challenging to decide on an AVERAGE project, consider
> anchoring at either of the scale extremes, that is, determine which project
> you think is FAR ABOVE or FAR BELOW all of the others in terms of Value.
>
> In this rating process, there are no absolute or independent scale
> referents -- you are being asked to assess projects RELATIVE to each other.“
>
>
>
> Note:  Councilors are encouraged to consult with their organizations to
> ensure that the ratings reflect the priorities of their groups as much as
> possible.
>

>
> *Instructions:*
>
>
>
> Attached is an Excel Template (GNSO Project Prioritization Rating Template)
> that you will use to rate each Eligible Project according to your perception
> of relative *Value*.   Directions are contained inside the template.
> Please enter your Name in the space provided and the Date you complete the
> form.   Please do not forget to <Save As> the completed form to another name
> as explained and illustrated inside the spreadsheet.

> ****Please note that all unshaded cells are protected (i.e. locked)
> against accidental mistyping; it is also important that the project and
> value rating sequence be maintained to facilitate data aggregation****

>
> *Expected Output:*

>
>
> The outcome of this activity, once Staff receives and processes all of your
> individual ratings, will be an initial statistical assessment of Councilor
> agreement on the *Value* ratings.   The data will be used as input to the
> Step 3 group discussion that is scheduled to take place in Brussels on 19
> June.
