[Osmf-talk] Fwd: Dorothea's hours for SotM WG

[Mikel Maron, OSM]

Right, correct. Scoring happens independently without knowledge of others. there’s initial steps to process and distribute applications to score. But then when we need collaboratively make final selections.
We are going to have a privacy policy. And will look into whether the program selection system might have what we need to do this, tbd.
We’ll be posting soon (probably after New Years) asking for people to join for scoring. All interested are welcome.

It would have the most material effect of not requiring the applicants 
to disclose their personal information to a third party company.  Of 
course you would then have no legal way to provide the data to Google 
afterwards without the applicant's consent.

But using Google services for the scoring is of course a massive problem 
on its own even if you ignore the privacy and potential industrial 
espionage issues because it essentially excludes people like me from 
participating in the scholarship committee because we would never sign 
up with Google.  Depending on your perspective you might of course 
consider that an advantage but it is definitely discriminating and kind 
of ironic considering Google being OSMs competition in some ways...

Scoring is by definition done by each reviewer independently.  In fact 
if reviewers can see each other's scoring results in a collaborative 
tool that would usually be considered problematic because it tends to 
distort the results and defeats the whole idea of having different 
people making independent assessments.
