Re: [802SEC] seeking Hans Karlsson Award nominations

All-
Just for the record, 802 has done well here. 
The past awardees that we have are:
    2013    Brian Kiernan
    2011    Art Astrin
    2001    Vic Hayes
I hereby acknowledge that my position as Paul's official "nettle" probably disqualifies me on the basis of my "dedication to diplomacy"

If we actually want to proactively do something then we probably should give the topic a few minutes on the Oct 1 phone call agenda.

Best regards,
    Geoff

Dear EC Members,
 
The deadline for the Computer Society Hans Karlsson Award is 15 October (http://www.computer.org/portal/web/awards/karlsson).
 
From the website:
Established in 1992 in memory of Hans Karlsson, chairman and father of the IEEE 1301 family of standards. A plaque and $2,000 honorarium is presented in recognition of outstanding skills and dedication to diplomacy, team facilitation and joint achievement, in the development or promotion of standards in the computer industry where individual aspirations, corporate competition, and organizational rivalry could otherwise be counter to the benefit of society. Eligibility is limited to present or past participants in IEEE CS Standards activities.
 
I know there are several worthy candidates from the 802 community--please consider nominating someone from your group.  In addition to the nomination, three endorsements are required.  Please circulate this request to your group as well.
 
Regards,
 
--Paul
