1. Welcome & SOIs

- N/A

      2. Pilot Holistic Review Candidates Evaluation

a. Poll Results

- See the attached files for the poll result details.

- 6 responses for 19 candidates – Team can discuss the candidates based on the ranking, but it is not the decision-making factor (The poll is to be just a guidance, NOT the decision)

- The results were show the ranking 1-7 (list below)

b. Candidates Evaluation

- 7 candidates were ranked in the following order based on the poll results:

1. Anil Jain
2. Marie Pattullo
3. Julf (Johan) Helsingius
4. Mark Datysgeld
5. Caleb Ogundele
6. Tony Holmes
7. James Gannon 

• Discussion points:

• The SSC Chair pointed out that Mark Datysgeld was one of the last SSC members, if a need to consider when allowing for different people to participate.
• Geographic criteria does not seem to be considered within this result and may need a different approach
• Any term limits for these candidates? – No. Subject to the duration of the project as it will be more like a PDP/WG.

 c. Suggested List of Candidates

• Discussion points:

• How should the evaluation process proceed was discussed, and a suggestion was to select the top 10, then drop to 7 (or top 12) based on the region, participation, recent project, etc.
• A suggestion that Diversity must be put into consideration as regions cannot be left unconsidered was raised and agreed upon by the members.
