[CBW_Exec] INNY 2010

[Ashley, Hannah]

I agree with Kathleen.  AND, as is my wont, rather than ignore the fact that we did not award an Inny, I wonder if we should put out at the SIG the dilemma (without, of course, insulting/hurt feelings on any applicants' parts).  That is, is there a way we can talk about what we mean by innovation in basic writing, and what gets in the way, etc. that would be fruitful?

Greg, Sugie, and Peter,

Thank you for your work on this, and thank you for your courage in not awarding
an INNY this year. I think it's important for the integrity of the award and of
CBW.  kb
