>>>The MVP award is based on what the person has done over the last year - theoretically, one can receive the award for work done in (for instance) 2014, and not lift a finger in 2015, and still claim the award for the entire year. (Hopefully that wouldn't happen, but that's generally how it works, and hopefully the program benefits wind up serving as an incentive to continue). It is not supposed to be based on what will happen over the next year.

>Serious question: how would you feel if this sort of aware were a true community award where those who can be bothered voting, get to do so? If it's not the vendor goodies driving interest, seems to me that you'd get the same effect without any of the moral hazards.

Question...what would the award be called? What would be the name of it, and how would the voting occur? Would there be a limit on the # awarded? How would the nomination process occur?
