As for the evaluation criteria, I think this was well laid out in the call for proposals. It was documented. So if you read through the call for proposals carefully, you could understand how the proposal would be adjudicated.
With respect to the review members, we understood that many of the technical reviewers would be pulled as subject-matter experts from groups like NRC-IRAP. In our field of work it's common for these sorts of technical proposals to be evaluated by those who are deemed to be experts in the industry across the country. From our perspective, that was straightforward and transparent.
