Lister, LJ, Joe,
I have in my mind one former BMC empoyee who is not BMC emplyee anymore. Will he
be aligible to be voted as MVP?
As far as I racall, once upon a time there was a category for the most valuable
Remedy/.../BMC/ list contributor. Am I right or my memory has been already
deteriorating?
Best regards,
Darek Kuzara

Oh good to see it back!
I don't remember if we could nominate more than one -- I know we have to vote
for just one. But in the event of an opinion where 2 people deserve a
nomination, is that allowed?
Also in the past I recall a BMC / Remedy employee could not be nominated. IF
that person at the time of the nomination is no longer a BMC employee, is he /
she eligible to be nominated as a MVP?
Joe

Categories now open

Daniel has chosen to do things a bit differently this year. He has decided to
let the incumbent MVP, that's me this year, run the Awards.
This is the 18th Annual ARSlist Awards, Call For Nominations.
These awards were created by Daniel in 1995 to recognize the efforts of
posters asking questions, those providing answers, and sometimes even of those
providing what is titled as Friday Humor, and even sometimes gets a laugh.
It was also to provide posters an incentive to keep providing those excellent
technical replies and perhaps improve the quality of the jokes (but that
doesn't seem to ever happen).
The Rules for Nominations and some General Rules:
* An individual wishing to submit a nomination for MVP must also provide a
short description of WHY they deserve to be MVP for the nomination to be
considered (this is a change from previous years requiring two independent
nominations)
* The years postings are somewhat reviewed to ensure that this is someone who
posts quality answers. ( Not that anyone has ever been rejected on this basis)
* Only those that have registered on the ARSlist before July 3rd 2013 will be
eligible to vote. It is assumed you won't vote if you haven't been around
long enough to know the posters in question. In the unlikely event of another
tie, the person or product with the greatest number of sources of votes will
be declared winner. If it is still a tie, a panel of past winners will
convene to break the tie.
* Voting and nominating is by the Individual REAL person, so redistribution
lists don't vote, your identity must be known, and those that have multiple
subscriptions still get only one vote
* BMC Software employees on the ARSlist are eligible to vote
* All decisions of Daniel or the oversight panel are final (if a controversial
decision is needed, 3 past MVP winners will be asked for their opinion)
* Nominations posted to the list are not accepted, they must be to
[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>
* Votes posted to the list are not accepted, they must be to
[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>
* Any MVP from the last 5 years and anyone from the WWRUG committee are not
eligible for nomination

*MVP - Most Valuable Poster.
This is the person you feel has contributed the most to the list in a
combination of quality and quantity. Anyone who has won the award in the last
5 years, current BMC or BMC Remedy employees are not eligible. An individual
must be nominated by at least two independent sources.
------------------------------------------------

current employee to qualify)
Again, an individual must be nominated by at least two independent sources.
------------------------------------------------
Nominations for other Categories are also open until July 21st
Nominate a potential winner for another Category while you suggest the
category if you wish
[no Nominations, no Award will be conferred in that category there must be
more than one Nomination for a category etc.]
