    Subject: Nomination Call for EFF Pioneer Awards
    
    Please post to list - thanks.
    
    
    
    * The 12th Annual International EFF Pioneer Awards
    
    
    Call for Nominations - Deadline Feb 1st, 2003
    
    
    In
    every field of human endeavor, there are those dedicated to expanding
    knowledge, freedom, and innovation.
    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:
