Video of the WSFS Business Meeting – Semiprozine Vote
Posted by: Neil Clarke In: Hugo Rules
From Kevin Standlee’s blog:
The video of the 2009 Main WSFS Business Meeting held Saturday, August 8, at Anticipation is now online. If you have difficulty viewing the video through Vimeo’s online viewer, you can download the video (WMV format) to your machine using the link in the lower right corner of the video’s web page.
Vimeo limits users to uploading 500 MB/week, although once uploaded, the files stay up there and new files do not displace them. I plan to post the Site Selection Business Meeting next week.
The Main Business Meeting dealt with amendments to the WSFS Constitution pending ratification after having received initial passage at the 2008 Business Meeting in Denver. The Main Event was the debate over the removal of the Semiprozine Hugo Award. Also on the agenda: The Graphic Story Hugo Award and the explicit expansion of Hugo Award eligibility to electronic (web-based) publication.
This information is not secret. Feel free to pass it along to anyone else you think might be interested. You can quote this message entirely if you wish.
So, if you weren’t there and want to see how the discussion and vote on the semiprozine went down, here is your chance.
