Dear Mr.Tony,
Well, your efforts on this subject shows that how much you employ democratic processes in MWC. Well, coming to the point, let me also share my views and ideas on this subject:
1. The Evaluation period should be strictly a Calender month and in no case, it should be extended more.
2. Proper and more weightage should be given to Sections like Resources / Videos / Products & Reviews / Paid Links and ordinary or less weightage may be given to Forum and other Sections of MWC with reference to the points scored from it.
3. The uniformity of in the performance of members should not be insisted [i.e.] if a member works during holidays only and remains inactive in ordinary days, then also the evaluation should be the same and on par with other regular & active members in MWC.
4. Points from incentives like Awards etc. should not be reckoned for evaluation purpose but points from Referrals should be taken in to account.
5. With reference to Editor members, their performance and points for their performance should also be reckoned and given weightage in any manner that may be deem fit.
6. All the members should be made clear that there are standards which can be quantified and which can not be quantified while deciding about the eligible core group members.
7. As far possible, the system should be kept simple and transparent.
8. The Revenue shall be shared by the core group members based on some percentage linked to their performance in MWC.
9. Evaluation of Resources and other postings should be maintained at normal speed and no member should insist for any speedy disposal of their postings or shall influence anybody in MWC. This should be strictly monitored.
10. It should be seen that proper balance is arrived while evaluating an Editor member because he might loose some of his time by doing editing and thus may loose some points by way of less postings in MWC.
These are all some of the ideas that struck my mind and will come back if any more are there.
Thank you.
