Well, crap.  Somehow I missed it.  My bad.

Now that I’ve looked, I may not have received that particular email.  I’ve checked my Deleted and old mail that’s yet to be moved there yet.  What was the date on that announcement?

HI Bruce,

Kevin's article about LAA nominations was in the Dec. 2025 issue of The International Costumer newsletter. The newsletter announcement went out to the icg-announce list the afternoon of Dec. 19.  Here is a link to Kevin's article:

Pardon my French, but holy crap, your ICG president almost but not quite blew it.

The BOD informally some time ago settled on April 18 (same day as the Doll Contest, etc.) as the day to have our 2026 annual meeting online. I forgot to do the math for the Lifetime Achievement Awards nominations.

An April 18 meeting date means that TONIGHT Feb 17, 2026 at midnight PST is the deadline for LAA nominations.
Send nominations to laa-nom...@costume.org with “LAA Nomination” as the subject line.
For more information, see https://costume.org/wp/icg-lifetime-achievement-award/#preparing-a-nomination

Because tonight is the deadline:

• If you have a previous nomination you wish to reactivate, simply supply the name and say that you wish to reactivate the nomination.
  
  
• If you have a NEW nomination, please send me the name and your basic "letter of proposal" nominating them, as well as any material you have prepared for the nomination immediately (before 11:59PM PST today)
  
  
• It takes me a few days to build the voting packet for the electors, which occasionally requires my requesting clarification from the nominator, so I will accept supplementary information for submitted nominations by tonight's deadline until 11:59pm February 20.

Note to chapter presidents and officers: this means LAA voting will close 11:59pm March 19.

My deepest apologies for not doing these calculations earlier.

Kevin Roche

Regarding the (dramatically imminent) deadline for the LAA nominations and my failure to calculate the deadline earlier:

I would certainly entertain a motion by the BOD to set aside SR 21(C) and extend the nomination period for 7 or 10 days. 

You'd need to act on it very quickly however if we still want a result in time for the annual meeting.

Apologies again for the unintended drama.

Kevin

I move that the Board of Directors set aside Standing Rule 21(C) for a period beginning to begin upon adoption of the motion and to end after ten days.

Kevin —

This time I had no problem at all.

As the maker of the motion, I recognize that I made a grammatical error in the wording of the motion. I t’s “beginning to begin.”

Sorry (I was in a hurry).
