Hi Anne, Thanks for this comment. I think one solution may be to remove “sole organizing body” as a requirement for full points under Criterion 4. Instead, to get full points on Criterion 4, you must show majority support. In this way, an applicant that is not the “sole organizing body” does not lose points in both places. To be clear, the reason for awarding such applicants those points is because being the “sole organizing body” is the clearest indicator of an applicant’s connection to/support from the identified community. But, as “sole organizing body” is inherently more related to Criterion 1 on Community Establishment/organization and given concerns regarding double-counting, we can remove that as a requirement for Criterion 4, as noted above.

In the current CPE draft, there appears to be double counting of a possible negative factor in contravention of the Sub Pro Final Report, i.e. references to "Sole organizing body" (and associated scoring) in both Criterion 1 Organization and Criterion 4 Community Endorsement. The Sub Pro Implementation Guidance states: Implementation Guidance 34.10: The following text included in the 2012 Applicant Guidebook Section 4.2.3 Community Priority Evaluation Criteria should also be incorporated into the CPE Evaluation Guidelines: “The sequence of the criteria reflects the order in which they will be assessed by the panel. The utmost care has been taken to avoid any "double-counting" - any negative aspect found in assessing an application for one criterion should only be counted there and should not affect the assessment for other criteria.” Thus, it appears as though an applicant who is not the "sole organizing body" loses points on that basis twice and that was not supposed to happen in this round. How can we alleviate this "double-counting" issue?
