The committee consists of previous recipients, Alan Griver (yag) of Microsoft, and one person from the FoxPro community. If you wish to be considered for inclusion on the committee, please email Doug Hennig (dhennig@stonefield.com) by April 30, 2010. The existing committee will select the community member and announce their selection in early May.

If you look at who is on the committee, anyone from here selected for the new spot is probably going to be one dissenting vote. It's going to be an old timer who has been active on the speaking / book writing circuit. In fact I have a pretty strong suspicion who it is going to be. (No, I am not going to speculate publicly, so please don't ask).
