Then Org admins go through the Student Evaluation Matrix and discuss with the mentors about the final selections. The entire organization can not be participated and not practical since the entire org is not aware about the degree of the relationship that the mentors have with the student and the understanding about the technical background. So as before the mentors who related with the idea select the best proposal they want to go. So obviously they can get together and discuss this on the private comments and come to an agreement, this is mentors business. But the agreement should be communicated via the Student Evaluation Matrix for Org Admins. Student Evaluation Matrix will be mailed to those who completed the Phase 1 application. -- Regards, Buddhike Chandradeepa Kurera (bckurera) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
