The Ad Hoc Harleys

I created the Ad Hoc Harley award to recognize exceptional contributions to standards development.  It started, as most things in the Standards world do, one night in a bar.  And like many things, it's taken on a life of its own.

The rules of who gets the Ad Hoc Motorcycle Guy Harley award are completely arbitrary. There is no nominating committee, although nominees are always welcome. The bar to recognition is fairly high if the recipients are any evidence. I hope to maintain the quality of recipients in subsequent awards. I wont' award more than one a year for the same type of industry service, and I expect to award no more than five a year.
Here are links to the announcements of the Award Winners with links back to the award.
