As a simple measure, I also did a calculation that does not just sum the votes but counts the sum as proportion of all votes obtained by a given dissertation. Jannik Peters came to 0.6, Thomas Fel to 0.44. While I personally prefer the latter to the former,
numbers are what they are. The results may change if more people cast their votes.</div>

<div><br>
</div>
<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.

<div>However, looking at the Excel, it does not seem everyone is doing so.</div>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>If you compare Jannik Peters and Thomas Fel, considering only the jury members who have assessed both, there seems to be a tie. </div>
</div>

This morning, I detected the issues and I am reviewing both (again).
<blockquote type="cite">
<div dir="ltr">
<div>How fair is the process if we allow some of us to overlook some of the applications? (To a lesser extent, I had the same kind of doubts regarding the previous stage, I should say.)</div>
</div>
</blockquote>
<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 let me know.</p>
<p>have a nice Sunday</p>

Dear Committee members,<br>
We are almost there, but we are still waiting for a few members' <br>
answers. Let us wait a few more days, I will not be back in the office <br>
until next 19/8.<br>
<br>
As of today, we have a candidate, Jannik Peters, with five (5) votes.<br>
<br>
If you have any comments, please let me know.<br>

Have a nice weekend<br>
