sub-drawing

Hola Mike,

¿Por qué no sub-drawing? Creo que es lo más acertado, ya que el prefijo sub tiene el mismo uso que en español (subordinación, en este caso).

Pre-selection draw(ing)

It's what it means.

I guess you are right, the "pre-selection draw" is what in the text is referred to "primer sorteo"

http://www.womenonboards.org.au/events/diversity2008/papers/...
Generally there would be two methods of implementing a random selection process.
First, a lottery could be run over an entire community. In the absence of conscription, those who won would then be invited to voluntarily apply. The draw would have to be large enough to gain applicants, and a further randomised sub-draw might be required to select the nominee from the applicants. This method would apply to boards or committees that require broad public representation.

Pre-sorteo: pre-draw (sometimes the answer is the most obvious)
Peer comment(s):
