What is RPES policy regarding a panelist serving as IDR for the same position more than once?
RPES policy does not prohibit panelists from conducting “repeat IDR’s.” Chairs are responsible for making IDR assignments among their panelists. Chairs routinely ask if a panelist has any relation to the cases under review–such as having previously served as IDR–which might impede objectivity. This information is weighed along with other considerations in achieving balanced IDR workload distribution among assigned panelists.
