World Technology Award SHORT-LISTED NOMINEES
(the new individual WTN Fellows and Corporate Members) eligible to be announced as 2006 Award Winners...
At San Francisco City Hall in a gala ceremony on the evening of November 3rd, the 2006 World Technology Award Winners will be announced by James P. Clark, the World Technology Network's founder and chairman, from amongst the short-listed nominees.
Short-listed nominees comprise the top five -- or a few more in some cases where there were ties in the voting -- who received the most votes by the judges (individual WTN members) from amongst all of this year's member-nominated nominees.
All short-listed nominees are automatically inducted into the World Technology Network (WTN) as new individual WTN Fellows or, as the case may be, Corporate Members (in 20 individual categories and 10 corporate categories).
(Those member-nominated nominees who did not make the short-list become WTN Associates and are also, of course, considered part of the WTN community.)
