Looks like I don’t get to be a reviewer
Harold just posted a comment on my "no news" post saying that he's got webinars scheduled for this Monday and the following one. He says that about 600 reviewers have made it to that step. Thanks for putting me out of my misery Harold.
Since I haven't been invited to join those, I guess I'm out of it. But I think I'll keep blogging away for a while. I have some observations to share about the process to date, now that my brief run is over.
UPDATE;
Harold elaborated a bit in a comment to this post -- it turns out he's attending the initial webinar, which I've already attended. So maybe I'm still in the game. T'would be nice to have a sense of what's going on.
I wouldn't count yourself out yet. I know several that received their emails yesterday! And if they are only up to 600 and they are planning on 1000, that's still 40% to go.
Thanks for the encouragement Harold. It would be nice to get an official "silver-bullet" from BTOP informing me that I'm off the roster. I guess I better wait for that, eh?
I think there's some confusion.
This webinar I have tomorrow is the initial webinar. the one you have already been through, if I read your first posts correctly.
The initial webinars are still continuing, so it is quite possible they haven't started assigning the apps yet.
On the call now. Said we should receive our panels / apps in the next 2 weeks.
More info:
400 applications have been paneled so far.
You will receive a panel based on when your specific skill set is required.
Sorry for spamming your blog
I love these updates Harold! They're the only info I'm getting. Keep 'em coming.
My panels / apps along with the Easygrant login credentials came in on the 11th, but no word from the panel coordinator yet (so I'm not clear on deadlines). If however my assignments were representive of the average, and assuming that it's going to be a 2-week process as NTIA initially indicated, it boils down to approximately 230 proposal pages per day.
