Dear SSC members,

Please note the updates in the Poll results again – as mentioned during the call, the graph bars were quickly ranked for your general overview, but due to their inaccuracy, when double-checking with the individual candidate results, we must have missed two more candidates that ranked at 6^th place with James and Mark, Hector Ariel Manoff and Sophie Hey, all four with 12 points. The only distinction is that while Hector Ariel Manoff had the exact same results as James and Mark (4 yes, 1 no, and 1 don’t know), Sophie Hey only had 3 yeses, with 2 don’t knows.

With this, I have updated the bar graph ranking again (with top 9 candidates) as well as the google sheet and below notes (highlighted in yellow) to reflect this change.

Sincere apologies for not catching this before.

Kind regards,

Julie and Saewon.

Subject: [Gnso-ssc] Suggested List of Candidates (with Notes) | SSC - Pilot Holistic Review candidates evaluation call | Monday, 01 July 2024

Dear SSC members,

Per our call today, please find the google spreadsheet that contains the votes during the call and ranking that follows: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1P9XZ3hd0J6GfaOpStV92zSpWDkqXwl7rmatNfwS07uU/edit?usp=sharing [docs.google.com]

Some points to note from the spreadsheet ranking:

• The order of names (No. in A column) is in the order of ranking from today’s call.
• The Top 9 (until Ranking 7) have 3 votes, and the Top 13 (until Ranking 10) have 2 votes. (I could not cut the Top 10 and/or the Top 12 due to the identical number of votes)
• The column J in red shows the poll results to compare to: In ranking 7’s, Marie Pattullo overlaps with the Poll result; In ranking 10’s there are no overlapping candidates.
• Mark Datysgeld that ranked 3^rd in the Poll Result is excluded in the call ranking today based on the discussions (i.e., previous SSC appointee)

Other than the spreadsheet with rankings to help the members with the decision, kindly find the attached survey results, that were also shared in the meeting, for your reference.

Below, you will also find the notes/details from the meeting to help you in your decision-making process.

Kind regards,

Julie and Saewon.
