from my source inside OPM:
1. Composition of the reviewing panel: The panel reviewing the applications was comprised of members taken from OPM’s Human Resources Products & Services Division, the Human Capital Leadership & Merit Systems Accountability Division and the Office of the General Counsel.
2. All applicants who failed to achieve a qualified rating from the review panel for experience were assigned an arbitrary value of “0.”
3. There have been a substantial number of appeals from applicants who were rated ineligible for further consideration based on experience;
4. Appeals will be addressed after those rated “eligible” had completed the evaluation process and a register had been developed.
5. The appeal process will probably carry into October.
