I would suggest and prefer #3 :-)
Each organization - Arabeyes, LUG #1, LUG #2, etc submit one nominee
(that nominee could be in THEIR organization or outside of it),
the nominees make their way to l4a (via email upon a deadline),
For example,
arabeyes nominates A (include background info on person, accomplishments)
LUG #1 nominates B
LUG #2 nominates C
l4a then decides who to pick (its not a compeition, it could be a rotation
thing) simply to get the word out there. This totally removes any work
that we must do on a monthly basis, except for mailing someone's name
to l4a.
