Murray McKercher:https://community.icann.org/display/ABMS/Board+Candidate+Evaluation+Committee+meeting+2013.12.20
Veronica Cretu (Moldova):Re comments: would be useful to keep in mind that comments should not be a perception but rather evidence based facts re candidates
Fatimata Seye Sylla:my line is cut off
Murray McKercher:I believe separate scores on different sections is a very good approach
Fatimata Seye Sylla:we can continue

Matt Ashtiani:@murray - the workspace can be found here -https://community.icann.org/display/BCEC2013/BCEC+2014+Candidate+Evaluation+Workspace
Heidi Ullrich:you need to be logged into Confluence to see this page
Veronica Cretu (Moldova):I find the platform useful and indeed clear
Siranush Vardanyan:it is quite clear
Murray McKercher:@Matt Thank You
Heidi Ullrich:Comments can be added
Murray McKercher:I also feel the structure is sound and that the technology is straightforward
Heidi Ullrich:with a significant character limit
Fatimata Seye Sylla:yes
Fatimata Seye Sylla:Sounds very good for me
carlos dionisio aguirre:i want to see the screen before comment
Veronica Cretu (Moldova):we need to play a bit with it as well, in order to be able to suggest improvements/ask Qs
carlos dionisio aguirre:i try to do this on week end
Heidi Ullrich:Carlos, are you not able to see the workspace?
Veronica Cretu (Moldova):generally, it is fine for now
carlos dionisio aguirre:yes i can see, but i not see it before
Siranush Vardanyan:no comments, quite clear
Siranush Vardanyan:it would be better to have EOIs posted by the time they are coming, for us to have more time to review, but if generally decided to post after the deadline, I am ok. Just from the NomCom experience it was better to have them by the time of arrival
Heidi Ullrich:I wasn't suggesting a call before Christmas
Siranush Vardanyan:then it's ok
Heidi Ullrich:but the first call in the new year
Murray McKercher:I agree with Mohamed comment that all information shared online stays within the online workspace and not copied to local computers or mail exchange
carlos dionisio aguirre:but we can put a reminder by email when we have ans updated, i think will be usefull
Heidi Ullrich:Roberto, should Carlos' point be an Action Item?
Heidi Ullrich:that staff send a note to the BCEC when an EOI is posted
Veronica Cretu (Moldova):@ carlos, useful indeed
Siranush Vardanyan:that would be really useful
Siranush Vardanyan:and also to send the link to this space by e-mail would be also good
Murray McKercher:@Heidi I also feel a note to BCEC when EOI posted is a very good idea
carlos dionisio aguirre:yes @heidi but my comment incrlude every update not only when EoI will be posted
Fatimata Seye Sylla:+1 @Carlos
Heidi Ullrich:Thanks, Carlos. updates on the EOI or updates on the page? Not sure what you are speaking about
Heidi Ullrich:Hi Fatimata, we can set that up, but that means every time a change is made, you will receive a message
Fatimata Seye Sylla:that one is not desirable
Heidi Ullrich:So staff can send a note when an EOI has been posted on the members only wiki.
Heidi Ullrich:we will NOT send the EOI in the email message.
Fatimata Seye Sylla:Excellent Heidi
Veronica Cretu (Moldova):many thanks, Roberto! And wonderful holidays everyone!!!
Siranush Vardanyan:wishing everyone a blessful Christmas and a Happy New Year
Murray McKercher: Thank You Roberto for a great meeting
Heidi Ullrich:Tech support has confirmed that by 'watching the page' you will be getting notices every time the page is edited...
Heidi Ullrich:so staff will send the note.
Fatimata Seye Sylla:thanks Siranush and Happy Holiday Seasons
carlos dionisio aguirre:great new year for everyone, and merry christmas for christians like me. bye
