Say, a whole bunch of people nominate someone for the Professional category, but they should be in the Non-professional category, would they be SOL?<BR/><BR/>BTW, I kind of like that I'm "non-professional" it's like they know me!<BR/><BR/>I will be nominating Neil, Nick, and Sean for Non-professional then.John Klimahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17292479975480407304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215512.post-82707719443713214972008-02-28T10:56:00.000-06:002008-02-28T10:56:00.000-06:002008-02-28T10:56:00.000-06:00My impression -- which includes my own tenure as a judge -- is similar to Cheryl's, though the administrators seem to reserve the right to make any final determinations themselves in specific cases.<BR/><BR/>The big watershed does seem to be "day-job or not day-job."Andrew Wheelerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07373318300627953040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215512.post-23871114705649996662008-02-28T08:39:00.000-06:002008-02-28T08:39:00.000-06:002008-02-28T08:39:00.000-06:00The way it was explained to me (by a former judge) is that the Professional category is for professionals who make their entire living (or near as makes no difference) from a single job, and the Non-Professional category is for professionals who do not work full time in the area for which they are being nominated. I have no idea whether this is true, and the WF Board seem unwilling to clarify the issue.Cherylhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09328347167113836522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215512.post-73972688974090612842008-02-27T23:59:00.000-06:002008-02-27T23:59:00.000-06:002008-02-27T23:59:00.000-06:00Thanks for thinking of us.<BR/><BR/>Non-pro sounds right for me.NMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11764993707175344260noreply@blogger.com
