<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language:EN-US" lang="EN-US">I wish to
add few points to Sanghee’s arrangements.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The 6 certificates are for best oral and best poster presentation
in each of the three categories, I assume.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Apart from the certificates, a formal results document/
letter also can be drafted and make ready for each category so that after the
final selection, names and details can be filled by the students’ awards committee.
It can be used to officially inform the OSGeo treasurer or other bodies
relating to the Awards at a later stage.</p>
<p class="" style="margin-left:0cm"><span style="mso-ansi-language:EN-US" lang="EN-US">I am not sure what Jeff meant by
presentation, but can we have a brief presentation summarizing all student’s
presentations/ posters and then introducing winners during the award ceremony? <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>As there would be many parallel sessions, this
would give an idea of students’ efforts to everybody. This needs to be prepared during the event anyway. <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"><br></span></span></p>

May be this second option might be easier esp. if winning students are decided at the conference time and award need to be given at the same time.<br>
