There has been a lot of talk lately about the judging last year with the AACA web sites. There has been mention of establishing a program similar to the Newsletter Achievement Awards Program (NAAP) that was adopted last year for print publications for web sites. For right now I will call the new web program WAAP - Web Site Achievement Awards Program.

Joe Gagliano, 2008 VP of Internet, has stated that he will "look into a point judging approach like the newsletter contest, NAAP, if it is concluded that is the best and fairest way to do it". These programs take a lot of time to develop and can not be accomplished right away. If the WAAP was created and approved by the Board the earliest it could be implemented is 2009. I am sure Joe will consider all sides and avenues of the issue.

Let's do our part. If you are in favor of the establishment of this program, please say so. And, if you think it is a bad idea tell us that also. I am sure Joe would appreciate all creative and pertinent comments for and against.

Just to be clear on one point - I was not asked to post this nor do I serve in any official capacity. I just thought it would be nice to give Joe some input from the web editor's viewpoint.

I think this would be a good idea. As a webmaster, I don't really know what was required. Yes I know about what was posted last year. Maybe this is one way to be completely fair in how the web sites are judged.

Just my opinion.

Brian,

Thanks for posting your feelings.

I think we have all experienced the problem one time or another. I know I have. This year just seems to be little worse. And when I say that - I mean the number that have fallen from master's to distinction or merit. It is hard to believe that a web site would drop that far unless they just completely abandoned the project all together.

Anyone else want to weigh in on the issue.

Thanks everyone for your involvement with the internet, I am always open to new ideas and opportunities. As Judy mentioned creating a new system for contest scoring will take some evaluation and development if it is decided to proceed. Please forward your comments and suggestions to me at gagliaj@aol.com.
Thanks JOE
