<p><font size="2">FYI: some more representation for BW on CCCC 2012 review team (me). I received a second name, which I sent forward as well. We may have additional coming soon.<br>
<br>
As you may recall, the Chris Anson invited all the groups tied to CCCC (like CBW) to put forward names and contact info for potential reviewers. I forwarded that to CBW EB. This invitation is the result of that.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>

Subject: Invitation to Participate in Stage I Review<br>
<br>
Colleagues:<br>
<br>
I'm writing to invite you to be a Stage I reviewer of proposals for <br>
the 2012 CCCC Convention in St. Louis. The success of the 2012 <br>
convention will depend on people like you who can use your expertise <br>
in the field to make thoughtful, informed, and balanced decisions <br>
about proposals and ensure that we create a strong program.<br>
<br>
But before I go on, please excuse the somewhat impersonal nature of <br>
this email. I'm trying to find the most efficient ways to work through <br>
the daunting review process for next year's convention without turning <br>
it all into a machine. At times, using group emails, surveys, and <br>
other tools seems to help. I DO look forward to a more personal <br>
exchange with each of you.<br>
<br>
Whether or not you've participated in Stage 1 review before, let me go <br>
over what it entails. If you accept this invitation, you'll get <br>
instructions for logging into a protected site where you'll read a <br>
batch of proposals that should take no more than a couple of hours to <br>
review. You'll be asked to score each proposal on a scale of zero to <br>
four, with four being reserved for only the strongest proposals. (You <br>
may also write comments to explain your score; only other reviewers <br>
will see them. Comments are helpful in cases where there is a wide <br>
discrepancy between individual reviewer scores.) Each proposal will be <br>
scored by at least two reviewers. The identities of reviewers and <br>
proposers are not revealed.<br>
<br>
To accept or decline the invitation to be a Stage I reviewer, please <br>
go to the following URL by Friday, April 30 and complete the 2-minute <br>
survey: <a href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/FXR7D5Y" target="_blank">https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/FXR7D5Y</a><br>
<br>
If you accept the invitation, the survey will ask you to rank-order <br>
four areas in which you want to review proposals, based on your <br>
expertise and comfort level. I know that the clusters are problematic <br>
on several levels, but they're what we have to work with for now. <br>
We'll do our best to assign you to proposals in your preferred areas.<br>
<br>
For your convenience, I've pasted the cluster areas at the end of this <br>
message. Note that they've been renumbered and alphabetized, and <br>
include a new cluster this year, #7: "Interdisciplinary, <br>
Multidisciplinary, and Cross-Contextual Perspectives." I especially <br>
encourage you to volunteer to read proposals in this cluster if you <br>
have experience working across various disciplinary and professional <br>
borders. The entire 2012 call for proposals can be found at <a href="http://www.ncte.org/cccc/conv" target="_blank">http://www.ncte.org/cccc/conv</a><br>
<br>
I hope that you'll accept this invitation to help me create a dynamic <br>
and exciting program for the 2012 convention in St. Louis. Your <br>
participation is an important contribution to the continuing strength <br>
of our discipline and the quality of our annual conference.<br>
<br>
If you have specific questions or concerns, please feel welcome to <br>
email me.<br>
<br>
Many thanks!<br>
<br>
