<div>I do not have an objection to Rafik serving on the SSC, just
as I did not have an objection to Ed serving. I had not assessed
either candidate and was reserving judgement until our scheduled
call for this evening, when I was going to compare CVs against
the publicly-developed scoring rubric. However, if I am
interpreting correctly the previous emails which have been sent
to this list today, some of us have just been accused of being
biased and partial towards a certain candidate, and “this whole
process is a mess and should be started over with clear
requirements and standards approved by the PC.” Then an hour
later, we should abandon process altogether, “There is an old
tradition in my culture, well I just made it up, that all new
jobs go to the newlywed man.” So which is it? Should we be
starting over, putting out a new call for candidates with a
clearly defined process for how applications will be evaluated —
or is there actually a tacit acknowledgement that the process we
were following was appropriate, but there was a fear the ‘wrong’
person was going to be chosen? I hate to dwell on this, as I’d
like us to move on as well, but I think this is important. If
Rafik is appointed because Ed has withdrawn, I do not want his
appointment to be seen by any as illegitimate.<br>

<div>Dear all,<br>
</div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div> As Ed has now withdrawn and the group of PC members
reviewing<br>
</div>
<div> candidates earlier placed Kris Seeburn on the last place,<br>
</div>
<div> it would seem appointing Rafik now is an easy choice.<br>
</div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div> So let's do that.<br>
</div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div> As Matt earlier set deadline for the appointment tomorrow,
I would<br>
</div>
<div> suggest we wait for 24 hours for any objections from PC
members, and<br>
</div>
<div> if there are none by then, notify the SSC of our
selection.<br>
</div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div> I would also like to suggest we forego further discussion
of the<br>
</div>
<div> process for time being, it isn't likely to be useful until
things<br>
</div>
<div> have calmed down a bit. But let's put it on the task list
of the PC to<br>
</div>
<div> develop processes for handling this kind of situations in
the future<br>
</div>
<div> more gracefully.<br>
</div>
<div> <br>
