OUTLINE FOR CONSIDERATION
For
Promotability List
1. The following Outline for Consideration will be used in
determining the promotability of ORD personnel in accordance with
CSP procedures.
2. There is an essential difference between a competitive
evaluation list and a promotability list, the former required by Agency
regulation, the latter a requirement of,the DD/S&T and D/ORD. The
following factors must be added or considered in a competitive evalu-
ation to arrive at a promotability list:
a. Time in Grade: A man newly promoted might rate
high on a competitive evaluation but low on a
promotability list.
b. Potential: Individual might be doing an excellent,
specialized job but may not be material for higher
level of responsibility.
c. Special Internal Division Consideration: Division
Chief might have special reasons for not promotion.
d. Competitive evaluations would be performed annually
on the following schedule:
1.
GS-09 to 11

an arbitrary rating number based on the number of people considered;
and a more methodical procedure such as that suggested in the following
paragraphs.
4. Outline for Consideration:
It is emphasized that "Outline for Consideration" is so
labeled because it is not a hard and fast formula; in the final
analysis, the judgment of the Panel must establish the lists.
It does, however, bring out the essential aspects of the
individual for review such that strong or weak points are not
inadvertently overlooked in competition with similar qualities
in others. Each of the following four elements weighted
equally would be applied:
a. Education and Training - 25 points

d. General Impression on Panel Members
In the competitive evaluation, the first three elements,
Education and Training, Professional Experience, and
Supervisor's Rating, would all be taken from the individual's
personnel folder. The fourth category - General Impression
on Panel Members - would be derived at the scheduled Panel
meeting for the appropriate grade.
5. Promotability List:
At the April, August, and December Panel meetings, the
Promotability List for all ORD personnel would be reviewed; it is still
recommended that a Division Chief make a promotion recommendation
whenever he deems it appropriate. Recommendation and consideration
should be a two-month process. The D/ORD's recommendation is
strongly endorsed that there be no minimum time in grade criteria for
a promotion - the qualified is thus not held back and the unqualified is
not encouraged to raise the point periodically.
