Review Panel - Volunteers & Listing.
What is it! How does it work!
So, what's the review panel? And how does it work?
Whenever new applications for EveryWrites need to be processed, or (on the less-fun side) a decision to remove a member needs to be made, three EveryWrites members who have volunteered to help out on a review panel are e-mailed to discuss the matter. That review panel collectively decides to accept applications, reject applications, ask applicants for more information, or to keep or kick existing members. Once the panel has served its purpose, it is disbanded, and the next review panel will be taken from the next three volunteers on the list.
How do I volunteer to sit on a review panel?
Any member can be a panelist! Just comment below with your e-mail address saying that you would like to be put on the list. Comments are screened to protect your privacy. Your name will be added right away.
Conversely, if you are currently on the review panel list, but would like not to be, just leave a comment here and you will be removed.
How is the list put together? Can the order of the names change?
The names are scrambled semi-randomly in the hope of keeping any Besties (TM) from sitting on the same panel at the same time. It's just to serve as a guarantor of fairness, not because anyone is worried that we aren't grown-up enough to disagree with our friends. To that end, if someone new volunteers to be put on the list, their name might be inserted into it anywhere.
Anything else?
Obviously, if one of the next three panelists on the list is a close friend of a community applicant or a potential kick-ee, their name will be skipped for that panel, and they will sit on the next one instead. But the fact that an applicant is friends with an existing member will be taken into consideration during the review panel discussion.
