It's just strange that the candidate must be registered on HW from 07.2007 to 07.2008. It would be more logical to have it throughout 2008.
Imagine someone registered at the end of 2008, say, on December 10th. They only have 20 days to prove they deserve the title, which is unrealistic. They also won't be nominated for 2009, so they miss out. That's why we decided to shift this criterion by half a year.
We will indeed consider achievements for the calendar year 2008, without any shifts.
Regarding the nominated candidates, I'm supporting them silently for now.
We're discussing it. :)
