I voted today for the Franklin Award nominating Warren DeLano (posthumously). He was a 2009 nominee but did not receive the award. One stipulation of the award is that "6. The initial consideration for the Award will then be contacted. He or she must be willing and able to accept the Award in person at the time of the ceremony." However could an exception be made under these special circumstances? I post this comment to initiate a discussion as well as to solicit a second nomination as required by guideline #2. Incidentally, the updated URL for the memorial site is: http://warrendelano.blogspot.com http://www.wldmemorialfund.org and an elegant obituary was published here: http://www.nature.com/uidfinder/10.1038/nsmb1209-1202

Hi Alberto, Should Warren be nominated twice, it's something that the Board of Directors would consider. Cheers, Jeff
