The Electronic Frontier Foundation established the Pioneer Awards to recognize these leaders on the electronic frontier. Nominations are open to both individuals and organizations from any country. All nominations are reviewed by a panel of judges chosen for their knowledge of the technical, legal, and social issues associated with information technology. How to Nominate Someone for 2003 You may send as many nominations as you wish, but please use one e-mail per nomination. You may submit your entries via e-mail to: pioneerat_private Just tell us: The name of the nominee The phone number or e-mail address at which the nominee can be reached and, most importantly Why you feel the nominee deserves the award You may attach supporting documentation as RTF files, Microsoft Word documents or other common binary formats, and plain text format. Nominee Criteria There are no specific categories for the EFF Pioneer Awards, but the following guidelines apply: The nominees must have contributed substantially to the health, growth, accessibility, or freedom of computer-based communications. The contribution may be technical, social, economic, or cultural. Nominations may be of individuals, systems, or organizations in the private or public sectors. Nominations are open to all (other than EFF staff & board and this year's award judges), and you may nominate more than one recipient. You may also nominate yourself or your organization. To be valid, all nominations must contain your reason, however brief, for nominating the individual or organization, a means of contacting the nominee, and your own contact information. Anonymous nominations are accepted, but we'd ideally like to contact the nominating parties in case we need further information. Persons or representatives of organizations receiving an EFF Pioneer Award will be invited to attend the ceremony at the Foundation's expense. The 12th Annual Pioneer Awards in 2002 will be held in New York, NY in conjunction with CFP during the first week in April. 2002 EFF Pioneer Award winners were: Dan Gillmor Beth Givens the DeCSS authors Nominations may be sent to: pioneerat_private Links: Pioneer Award Site: http://www.eff.org/awards/pioneer.html CFP 2003 Site: http://www.cfp2003.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- POLITECH -- Declan McCullagh's politics and technology mailing list You may redistribute this message freely if you include this notice.
