and NFAChave established Independent Review Panels to

career services in the competitive evaluation process as
being in the low 3o relative to their peers. In order to
implement completely the independent review portion of the
Uniform Promotion System, this Charter establishes an
Agency.-wide panel to review the records of GS-l7 and GS-18
officers identified in the competitive evaluation process
as being in the low 3% and are considered of limited
potential.
2. The Agency Independent Review Panel will corpri.se
the four Associate Deputy Directors and one senior member
of the "E" career service. The Chairmanship and the role of
Executive Secretary will be rotated annually among these
representatives. The Agency Independent Review Panel will
meet at the call of the Chairman, normally within a reasonable
period following the competitive evaluation of the GS-17 and
GS-18 officers.
3. The recor .s supperting the initial identification
of each officer by the individual's career service under
this program will be examined by the Review Panel prior to
submission of the officer's name to the responsible Deputy
Director of the DDCI. In every case, the Panel will inde-
pendently judge the relative value and potential of the
officer and will make appropriate -recommendations to the
responsible Deputy Director or the DDCI.
