Also myself and Casper Dik, also on the CAB.
why?
i did read the mail in cab-discuss but...
All five CAB members had been nominated for an award, as had both Sun
marketing staff. The CAB conducted a discussion privately after the
public discussion on the mailing list, as well as consulting with
Sara, and came to a majority decision. The CAB felt is was not
appropriate for either the organisers or judges of the Awards to
receive awards themselves - it would 'look' wrong and the CAB wanted
to avoid any impression of impropriety. All seven were therefore
removed from the final award list.
