2006 World Technology Award WINNERS and other new individual Fellows and Corporate Members (plus Associates)...
At San Francisco City Hall in a gala ceremony on the evening of
November 3rd, the 2006 World Technology Award winners, new individual WTN
Fellows and Corporate Members (in 20 individual categories and 10 corporate
categories) were announced by James P. Clark (Chairman, the World Technology
Network) and Daniel Sieberg (Host, "Next@CNN" television show).
In addition to the Winners, the top five, including the Winner, in each
category -- a few more in some cases where there were ties in the voting --
have been selected as the newest Fellows (for individuals) and Corporate
Members (for organizations) of the World Technology Network.
(Those member-nominated nominees who did not make the short-list of the top
five become WTN Associates in order to keep up communication with them in the
coming years.)
