it would be more appropriate to rotate the galleries rather than just exclude some altogther. With 42 galleries available that means that any particular gallery would only be up for AOM every 3.5 years - INCLUDING POSER thankyou. (I don't see why some galleries should have a priority or special circumstance) The other alternative is to make more than one gallery up for AOM each month and to have a winner for each. It's not hard to vote and if you don't care about that gallery/artists then don't vote in it. This way you don't have to combine galleries that maybe don't match too well and you get through all the galleries in the one year. Now if that's what is needed to make it fair and equitable then I'm ok with that. But I am certainly NOT ok with galleries just being excluded altogether as is the case now it seems. This wouldn't affect the AOY as that can be selected from a separately nominated list and could come from anywhere and be anyone... supposedly
