2. The Review Committee shall consist of all the incumbent CGOTS officials and, when available, the Coordinator-elect. The Coordinator may invite a senior member to join the Committee. The Coordinator either chairs the Review Committee or appoints one committee member as its chairperson.

3. The call for papers should be made public to CGOTS members no less than fifty days before the deadline for proposal submission.

4. Individual paper proposals should consist of a half- to one-page double-spaced description of the paper and, if needed, the amount of partial travel support needed from the CGOTS.

5. Two types of panel proposals will be reviewed: (1) roundtables, and (2) panels seeking co-sponsorship with APSA Organized Sections by using the latter's APSA panel quotas. A panel proposal should specify the topic, the chair of the panel, other panelists and their roles in the panel, and the total amount of travel support requested. Once approved by the Review Committee, the person who submitted the proposal for a co-sponsored panel is responsible for negotiating with the targeted APSA Organized Section under the conditions set by the Review Committee.

6. All the proposals, as well as letters indicating willingness to serve as panel chair or discussant, should be submitted to the ROC- or US-based Assistant Coordinators, depending upon the residence of the proposer. The Assistant Coordinators are responsible for sending duplicate copies of proposals to all other members of the Review Committee.

7. Review Committee chooses participants based on their proposals' quality and relevance to the selected themes of CGOTS panels, and the reasonableness of their travel-support requests. If several proposals share the same level of quality, those who do not serve as panelists in the previous year's CGOTS panels should have higher priority. The Review Committee should inform the applicants of the results of review as soon as the program is finalized.

8. Travel support allocated to CGOTS panelists is subject to the constraints of CGOTS funds. Travel spending inside the United States should be given higher priority than trans-pacific airfare. Participants should request financial support from CGOTS for only the portion of the travel cost which is not covered by their institutions' subsidies.

9. If the actual number of panels assigned by APSA to CGOTS is different from the number planned, the Coordinator is responsible for readjusting the CGOTS program.
