The Selection Committee

Fellows are elected by the Selection Committee — senior members of the field who decide each candidacy on the panel's recommendation. Most of its voting members come from outside Meret Solutions, and no one from a sponsor votes on a candidate tied to that sponsor.

Who sits on the Committee

Five to eleven senior members of the field

  • Elects Fellows; open Membership is handled separately
  • Majority of voting members external to Meret Solutions
  • Seated to cover the ten technical sections
  • Serves under published terms of reference and conflict rules

How it decides

Election is by two-thirds

  • A candidacy carries when two-thirds of seated members vote to confer it
  • The vote is set down in a signed election record
  • The Governance Board then confirms the published procedure was followed
  • The Board does not repeat the panel's assessment
