        <div>I am unsure about the procedure that is being followed to
          award the prize.</div>
        <div>I assumed that at this stage each of us was supposed to
          analyse all 6 applications. </div>
      </div>
    </blockquote>
    The basic assumption is that each of us analyse <i>at least</i>
    three, some of us did more. Also trying to have mos t of the thesis
    with at least three opinions. For a few candidates I asked for
    external iad.

    This morning, I detected the issues and I am reviewing both (again).

          some of the applications? (To a lesser extent, I had the same
          kind of doubts regarding the previous stage, I should say.)</div>

    <p>So far, we have no decision. If the tie persist we will focus on
      those and, maybe, have a winner and a forerunner.</p>
    <p>If you like, I will be happy to have short call with you, just
