Re: [gep-ed] Harold and Margaret Sprout award 2015

[Maniates, Michael Fields]

Why don't we take this off the GEP-ed list, please, and confine it to the Sprout committee.  Apologies to the 500+ of you for whom this is likely a minor issue.  We'll get this resolved and post a clarification, if necessary, to the list. Many thanks to those of you who've weighed in on this issue !

However, as a member of the Sprout Committee, I think we should lobby ISA to purge this requirement. As outlined on the ISA website, the award is for the best book “in the field” of international environmental “issues,”  and if you start with the seminal winner, Amory Lovins, and work forward, many of the recipients have been from other disciplines.   While we can assuredly compel someone who is not a member of ISA to join in order to receive the award, that strikes me as rather petty. We should be big enough as an organization to acknowledge that some of the folks who influence our field are actually not members J wil   Dr. Wil Burns, Associate Director Master of Science, Energy Policy & Climate Program Johns Hopkins University 1717 Massachusetts Ave., NW Washington, DC 20036 650.281.9126 (Mobile) 202.452.8713 (Fax) http://energy.jhu.edu   Skype ID: Wil.Burns Blog: Teaching Climate/Energy Law & Policy, http://www.teachingclimatelaw.org   From: gep-ed@googlegroups.com [mailto:gep-ed@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Jörg Balsiger Sent: Tuesday, June 03, 2014 12:00 AM To: gep-ed@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [gep-ed] Harold and Margaret Sprout award 2015   Same question here, is this a new requirement? I am fairly certain Rob Nixon was not an ISA member when he received the award, and I doubt Dan Bodansky was when he got it.
