| Process: We need to choose 2 names for each of the 10 frontiers, looking for a balance. Do not bother with the topical subgroup nominations. In principle, the co-conveners should be 1 young and 1 old. However, it should also (where relevant) be 1 theorist and 1 experimentalist. Plus we should try our best for appropriate diversity. Recognize that this is an impossible task and we will just do our best. | Process: We need to choose 2 names for each of the 10 frontiers, looking for a balance.

| === Job of chair and deputy=== | === Jobs of convener selection chairs=== |
| * Extract the names from the spreadsheet and make a new google spreadsheet with columns for Name, Demographics, Duplication, and "paired with", as well as "grade". Let the grade be your best guess at their qualifications for the job. 1 is best, 5 is lowest. Do this without any regard for demographics. | * Extract the names of the people nominated for overall frontier convener from the [[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DGXSqEQJWoePrYpMkINCnw2ehLtgU-AV2u3W9cnBhfc/edit?usp=sharing|google spreadsheet]] for your frontier and make a new google spreadsheet in another location (for confidentiality) with columns for Name, Demographics, Duplication, Suitability Comments. You will send the link to the rest of us, once you are finished with the jobs shown below. |
| * Write defining demographics near each name (old/young/theorist/experimentalist/male/female). | * Write defining demographics near each name (old/young/theorist/experimentalist/male/female). |
| * Go to the other spreadsheets and see if any of your list was also nominated for another frontier. If so, mark it in the appropriate column. | * Go to the other sheets in the original [[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DGXSqEQJWoePrYpMkINCnw2ehLtgU-AV2u3W9cnBhfc/edit?usp=sharing|google spreadsheet]] and see if any nomination from your list were also nominated for another frontier. If so, mark it in the appropriate column. |
| * Next consider the demographics and your grade and see if you can find reasonable pairs - mark the other member of the pair in the paired with column. | * Eliminate any unsuitable candidates by strike-thru (do not remove totally). |
| * Once this is done, invite the rest of the exec to make comments on your list in a comment section below. | * Rather than grading the rest, just comment on their suitability for the job in the comments column of your new spreadsheet. |
| | * Next considering the demographics and your personal knowledge of candidates, see if you can find reasonable pairs or triplets. Put them on another sheet in your spreadsheet and include comments. |
| | * Once this is done, invite the rest of the exec to your spreadsheet and ask them to make comments on your list. |
| * Once we have all had a chance to comment, we will need to meet by phone to evaluate our lists together. | * Once we have all had a chance to comment, we will need to meet by phone to evaluate our lists together. |
| * We will identify the top pairs and send email to them asking a variety of questions, e.g. | * We will identify the top pairs or sets of three and send email to them asking a variety of questions, e.g. |
| * You have been nominated to serve as a co-convener for the XXXX frontier with the following job description... would you be willing to serve, if chosen? To help with the selection process, could you answer the following questions... etc. In other words, we can still ask for more information to help us make the final decision. In this 2-tiered approach, we do not have tons of time, so let's get the first set of bullet points done over the next week. | * You have been nominated to serve as a co-convener for the XXXX frontier with the following job description... would you be willing to serve, if chosen?

In this 2-tiered approach, we do not have tons of time, so let's get the first set of bullet points done over the next week. My idea would be to ask each candidate that passes this first round to provide a shortform CV and a personal statement as to why they want to do this job and think they would be good at it. Limited to no more than one page of 12 pt. |
