If one has good demonstrable experience in mobile innovation whatever sector and has the ability to have a balanced business view then indeed they should be nominated.

@Alkags, thank you very much for responding and information provided.
It'll help those who are interested.

@Solomon. Let me share a view with you. You, me and some others see
the bigger picture and understand the importance of representation.
But things cannot work like that because we sometimes forget that we
are a collection of various skills and minds. Many come to this list
to socialize, explore, discuss, make contact with new listers, maybe
make some new business, sometimes have a rant or two, even attend
functions, get free tech support. The list is endless.

Beyond that everyone is on their own, are members elsewhere or on the
net. For many Skunksworks KE is a tech social past time and possibly a
conduit to other things if and when the need arises, the sooner we
embrace this ( those of us with other ideas ) the more we understand
our limitations. This is the same in other lists too, not just here.
There is nothing wrong with such and no one should take this
negatively. Its actually a very positive thing because its more like
an avenue of no commitments, no pressure or anything else, people
already face this during the day at work etc.

This my friend Solomon is the gene that needed to be cracked to be
understood, those that came before us looking for change or
organization or a community could not decipher and ended up frustrated
at efforts of doing so. Lets give this thread a rest and let people do
their thing. I'm a nuetral person and not interested in any
nominations but I do know who gets mine. :-)
