Proposal Approval

Once the work agreed in a proposal has been completed, it is submitted to selected members of the user community that have made commitments to the proposal. These reviewers may selected by any of the following methods:

  1. Selected by the supplier
  2. Self - selected - i.e. those committers that requested to be a reviewer
  3. Randomly selected

The total number of reviewers, and the proportions in the preceding three categories, are agreed at the outset as part of the terms of a proposal. If insufficient reviewers have been selected by the first two methods, rap-X will then automatically pick random reviewers to meet the agreed total.

Reviewers are responsible for assuring that the supplier's work has met the terms of the proposal. A proposal may not be marked "complete" until all reviewers have approved it.
