Based on suggestions which have come till now, I propose that for the
present year (2011) when this title is being introduced, I will
feel uncomfortable if we don't acknowledge and honour Garg ji's
contribution. I think the suggestion given by Pankaj ji can be working
solution for this year. From next year onwards we nominate eFl Man/Woman of
the Year in the same way as we do every month: Person with maximum mails
during the year. We will easily have record of this to decide. Let us have
the same rule, once nominated not for next five years. This will have two
advantages: Myself and Garg ji and some other leaders won't have pressure
to reduce their participation to allow others to get nominated, and it will
motivate other members for larger participation. We can again if all like
have one nomination among Moderators and one among other members like we do
for months.
Before this mail came I was to write to few prominent members of the
group how to proceed about other nominations:
1. *For Hero of the Week*, I think the person who gets maximum nominations
during the year is automatic choice: We have Mr. Dinesh Valke as
uncontested winner in this category with already three nominations in four
months. This category I think is very important as we are nominating a
person on the basis of number of uploads of photographs, not not just the
number of mails.
2. I am not sure how to proceed about *best* *photographs of the year
*and*best set of photographs of the year,
* because it will be too much to ask members to choose from all photographs
uploaded during the year, although some of us may know who deserve it.
Please suggest convenient way to do it.
