As you may know, each year, Public Knowledge selects three individuals 
to receive the IP3 Awards. These winners are people who have advanced 
the public interest in each of the three "IPs:" Intellectual Property, 
Internet Protocol, and Information Policy.

Nominations for this year's winners are now open, and can be submitted 
to IP3nominees at publicknowledge.org 
<mailto:IP3nominees at publicknowledge.org>, via comments at

<http://publicknowledge.cmail4.com/l/410069/z1ijl1ll/www.publicknowledge.org/node/1530>, 
or by replying to me directly.

With your nomination, please send us your reason, however brief, for 
suggesting the individual and a means of contacting them. We will accept 
anonymous nominations, but we'd like to be able to contact the 
nominating parties in case we need further information. We need your 
nominations by June 1st, 2008. IP3 Award winners will be invited to 
attend the October 16, 2008 awards ceremony in Washington, DC.
