Paul,

I support Bobs' viewpoint on this one. As I feel like him, some members
either do not attend the social, or indeed are not at the social for the
speaches or indeed are unaware that they are going on because of their
discussions they may be involved in, or because of the high amibent
noise
they cannot hear them. Let alone the food that is there in front of
them.

My six cents is do as Bob suggested to post the recognition at the
opening
plenary, and on the 802 web site. Then for the presentations to be made
during the WG plenaries, by the WG Chair and if available a member of
the
leadership of the SEC.
