Evidence of the beneficiary’s participation on a panel, or individually, as a judge of the work of others in the same or in an allied field of specialization for which classification is sought.

Examples of relevant evidence may include, but are not limited to:

• Reviewer of abstracts or papers submitted for presentation at scholarly conferences in the respective field;
