errr… this is a clear case of selection bias @MinistroDolar
The criteria for considering a comment valid or invalid should be the exact same criteria for all delegates, all of the time, and not be conditional to each delegate particular situation in each particular moment.
Then, all the valid comments should be scored according to the rubric.
The PMs can’t be selectively choosing which comments, from which delegates, at which time, are considered to count towards their average for the DF score (which is 40% of the total score) or not.
I think the criteria should be that, all comments are valid, and then there are cases where the comment should be considered invalid.
@SEEDGov Could you please clarify what are the criteria to classify a delegate comment as invalid to not count towards the DF metric in the DIP? And can you confirm that those criteria are being applied exactly the same to all delegates at the same time, or not?
