I have agreed to administer the Gordon Pask Award starting in 2009. Brian Marick has done a wonderful job, just at the edge of chaos, in starting the program and I hope to be able to continue in his footsteps. Laurent Bossavit has agreed, at least in principle, to co-administer the program and I know I will need his help.

I have several ideas for improving the mechanics of the award in addition to a personal vision of the award, but I certainly don’t mind receiving your advice. Since I cannot handle thousands of emails on the topic, I would like you to answer one of these questions regarding the prize, how we award it and how we present it.

What does it mean to you to see someone other than you win a Gordon Pask Award?

What does it mean to you to see someone other than the person you nominated win a Gordon Pask Award?

All things considered, would you rather we continue the program or abandon it?

Please send me an email with your thoughts. Write what you will, but please include an answer to at least one of these questions.
