BR2028 Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 PBE, I know that I unfortunately had to drop from the race, but am I allowed to be on the Evaluation board now? All the other members that had to leave got to be on it and I would enjoy to help the other cities as much as I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the other members that had to leave got to be on it and I would enjoy to help the other cities as much as I can. BR2028, With apologies for my delayed reply. I'm afraid that I cannot comply with your request - for the very simple reason that the Executive Board now has 9 members overall, and has already entered the Evaluation Phase. Besides you, there would be two further former contestants who may qualify for participation. However, with 12 members, it is my belief that just getting the evaluations in within the required timeframe (especially as we're well beyond the dates I had in mind) would end up slowing the competition down. However, everyone will still be able to cast their ballot during the IOC Session next weekend, and I would encourage you to do so as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Evaluation Report is scheduled for publication on Tuesday. *09:00 AM GMT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plusbrilliantsexploits Posted March 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Hey all, Just FYI, I have completed part of the Evaluation Report and have examined the raw data as well. However, writing the thing is taking a bit more time than anticipated, so I'm afraid there will be no Eval Report tonight. Watch out for it to be published by the late afternoon, GMT. If for whatever reason, I can't finish it by then, I will at least publish the raw data for each Candidate City and the anonymized comments by the Exec Board members. Thanks, PBE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
