Maybe it's one of this "different cultur" thingy, but "The AOM committee members shall remain anonymous" sounds indeed alot like stalinism and totalitarianism to me. And besides this, I wonder what this committee has to hide? Ok, time for the usual saying: It's your side, do what ever you like as long as I'm not supposed to be a part of this farce >:{. But maybe you should consider how the honored artists feel about this. Maybe that's just me, but I wouldn't feel much honored if I were nominated by an anonymous committee. Hope you'll find enough members who are willing to vote under this conditions. As far as I'm concerned, I never cooperated with "anonymous committees" and I'll not start to do it now - I'm out of this AOM thingy! regards Thomas
