As of March 31, 2011 we have completed the seventh full year of operations of the TI99ers Hall of Fame.
During this year we considered nine nominations for induction to the TI99HOF, including one nomination carried forward from the previous year. The Governors withdrew one nomination for lack of information before voting, two nominations failed to receive sufficient votes, consideration of one nomination was deferred until next year and another nomination was approved and will be announced once a suitable biography is completed. The four inductees announced this year were:
If you have not recently done so, please visit the TI99HOF site at www.ti99hof.org and reacquaint yourself with the many and varied accomplishments of our inductees. We now have thirty-five inductees on our TI99HOF site.
During the year our Rules and Regulations were revised to provide that a nominee is admitted to the TI99HOF unless more than 20% of the members of the Board vote against the induction. Previously, a nominee was required to receive at least 80% of the votes cast in favor of the induction.
In January 2011 Tom Wills, one of our original governors returned to the Board. The Board of Governors now consists of: Jacques Groslouis, Ron Reuter, Glenn Bernasek, Dan Eicher, Tim Tesch, Peter Killick, Don O'Neil, Charles Good, Berry Harmsen, Terrie Masters, Mark Wills, Ernest Pergrem and Tom Wills. I would like to thank each of them for their contribution and hard work during the year and in particular Ernest Pergrem and Dan Eicher for sharing the duties of the Webmaster.
Respectfully submitted,
Jacques Groslouis
