I'm not sure what you mean by that and how/why it is "well known" (it is
not well known to me, we make efforts to make sure that applicants are
treated fairly, equally, and not depending on snippets of some private
information, although naturally depending on the correspondence, dialogue
etc. with the chapter, which to some extent is also not entirely public for
obvious reasons).


Tomasz: as I wrote, it is imperative that a CLEAR and UNDERSTANDABLE
guideline is prepared :)
