eliasg Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) Guys, for PGS/CGS, there is some mistake. The real process is : 1) 2 revievers read you application, one as first reader, and the other as second reader. Each one put a mark over 100. 2) The applications that are discussed in Ottawa (in February) are only those where the 2 marks are very different 3) In this case, the first reader expose the application the other member of the comittee and the second reader approve or not. The final mark is then decided by all the members of the comitte. PS : If one of the commitee member knows the applicant, he must leave the room during the discussion.
