ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

DECISION-MAKING PROCESS

Since we’re not FIFA, as a matter of transparency, we would like to give you a brief summary of the decision-making process:

  • all in all, the FSE Committee had received declarations of interest and first proposals from members from 7 countries by the time of the deadline for proposals on 30 November 2015.
  • The FSE Committee then set up a sub-committee to evaluate and shortlist the candidates.
  • In December 2015, two proposals were shortlisted as finalists and asked to submit further details / ideas on venues, budgets and/or the programme.
  • In January 2016, members from the sub-committee conducted site visits in both finalist cities and met with the potential organising groups.
  • At the monthly conference call of the FSE Committee on 28 January 2016, the ultimate decision was made after a long and intense discussion on pros and cons of each proposal.
  • Committee members with potentially conflicting interests (e.g. because they were from the same country or organisation or very close to applicants for the Summer Network Meeting) could not participate in the sub-committee and were not entitled to vote on this, neither on the shortlist nor on the final vote for the successful candidate.
