>My understanding is that those who were not renewed got an email stating so. You might be OK.

I was an 8 times VFP MVP (1999-2007) and always got an email, when I was renewed.
In the year 2007, when I was not renewed, I didn't get any information and AFAIK any other MVP (at least here in Germany) was ever officially notified about being not renewed.

So my understading was, that someone is not going to be renewed as long as he doesn't get any information. No information, no renewal!

I can't speak for .NET MVPs but from the VFP point of view, who is really expecting new or renewed VFP MVPs?
In my eyes, it doesn't make any sense to nominate MVPs for a discontinued product.
