Dear All,

I agree with Mary’s comments, we need to make this simple for both proposers and scorers. But without predudice.

Every section of the form collects “points” against each of the evaluation criteria and we will have to discuss the weight for those general criteria first. If diversity as a whole gets 20% then we could split that among the gender, geography, etc etc.

I think gender is very important but from our part of world and from the experience with previous IGFs point of view, stakeholder group and geographic diversity are even more important with a lot of proposals with most speakers from civil society, all sharing the same point of view only and all from developed countries.
