<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">This is what I am saying. The list you refer to is one list, and by many accounts an incomplete list. You would probably be better off asking each peer for their general list of Virtues, Pillars, attributes, whatever, and ask them to go into detail about what they feel comprises them. But even that will only go so far because each Peer more than likely views each candidate in a different light. Each candidate is after all their own person, with their own history, circumstances, skills, etc. So even if a Peer does have a well defined idea of the things to look at, it gets revised/tweaked each time to suit the person they evaluate. And that is assuming the Peer in question even has a firm idea on what they like to look for in the firm place. Yes I know it is heresy to say that Peers don’t have all the answers sorted out. :)</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">> what they should consider before recommending someone.</FONT>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">If someone would like to recommend anyone for any award, they shouldn’t hesitate to do so. They just need to understand that it may not be acted upon and that inaction is neither a slam on the recommended nor the recommender.</FONT></P>
