At the first meeting of the Nobel Committee after the February 1 deadline for nominations, the Committee's Permanent Secretary presents the list of the year's candidates. The Committee may on that occasion add further names to the list, after which the nomination process is closed, and discussion of the particular candidates begins. In the light of this first review, the Committee draws up the so-called short list - i.e. the list of candidates selected for more thorough consideration. The short list typically contains from twenty to thirty candidates.
The candidates on the short list are then considered by the Nobel Institute's permanent advisers. In addition to the Institute's Director and Research Director, the body of advisers generally consists of a small group of Norwegian university professors with broad expertise in subject areas with a bearing on the Peace Prize. The advisers usually have a couple of months in which to draw up their reports. Reports are also occasionally requested from other Norwegian and foreign experts.
When the advisers' reports have been presented, the Nobel Committee embarks on a thorough-going discussion of the most likely candidates. In the process, the need often arises to obtain additional information and updates about candidates from additional experts, often foreign. As a rule, the Committee reaches a decision only at its very last meeting before the announcement of the Prize at the beginning of October.
The Committee seeks to achieve unanimity in its selection of the Peace Prize Laureate. On the rare occasions when this proves impossible, the selection is decided by a simple majority vote.

@awg I always find it stupid that people think they can beat nature like some kind of endgame boss.
Really it makes me very angry.
i think the greatest wrong or at least lie is saftey or at leas the promise of it.
nature gurantees no such thing even the mightiest tiger is given no promise nor gurantee of tomorrow.
that and people demand to be given more, though they dont know the cost of what more is and instead demand others pay the price for their deeds.

@awg yeah I'm not to god at the social thing, but if I noticied if your quiet you'll be pretty surprised what people put out . This one dude would always talk really loud and one day he started talking about plans for this party in a pretty open auditorium not more then a hundred feet from the schools security officer from the local police department. Then he had the gall to be really mad an accusatory to people afterword trying to figure out who snitched on him. I still wonder if he ever figured he rated himself out.

@moonman this is the law of the jungle as old and as true as the sky,
the wolf that shall keep it will prosper, the wolf that shall break it will die,
as the creeper that girdles the tree trunk the law runneth forward and back,
the strength of the pact is the wolf, the strength of the wolf is the pact.
