The makeup of the committee should be from the following groups: FFWPU, WFWP, AFC, ACLC, Kodan, Business leader and KEA leader (where possible). Please email / fax the committee names and phone numbers to Jorg Heller. The Regional Selection Committee and Headquarters Selection Committee must evaluate nominees’ qualifications and achievements and make a decision about the nominees.
The committee appointed to organize the celebration for True Parents’ Birthday will screen the nominees recommended by the continental headquarters, make a final decision on participants for the special workshop, and announce the results on January 20, 2003.

M. Administrative Details
In accordance with True Parents’ instructions, there will be equal numbers of men and women awardees (men 1,000 and women 1,000). Continental headquarters screening committees will therefore have to maintain the same ratio between men and women for the nominees for the awards. (Example: In the case of North America, 250 men and 250 women should be selected for participation). The continental director has final authority in decisions on this matter.
