Hello Judges,<\/p>\n

Its time for another Exemplar update.\u00a0 The first thing you may notice, is that I am not Kim Warren. While I don’t play Rugby, or have clever internet memes, I am taking over the helm of Exemplar Program while Kim goes off into Bat Country (And I don’t mean Arkham City).\u00a0 What does this mean to you?\u00a0 Not a whole lot really.\u00a0 But it does mean a lot to me.\u00a0 I feel that Exemplar provides judges with an opportunity to recognize others, and help foster a culture of excellence.\u00a0 I’m excited to steer this mammoth of a program, and working with Kim on the transition program. We have begun looking at improvements and efficiencies in the project with the goal of reducing how long this process takes, and a few interesting areas of growth.<\/p>\n

Now on to the items to actually care about.\u00a0 The information collected from Wave 2 is now firmly in WotC’s hands, and things appear to be moving forward on that front.\u00a0 We are still getting requests to update addresses.\u00a0 We are currently at the point of no return<\/em> for updates, and if your address changes between now and whenever ‘then’ is, you will need to rely on your postal mail forwarding system.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Wave 3 closes at the end of this month.\u00a0 For wave 2 there was a little bit of confusion at the exact end time, so I will be explicit here.<\/p>\n

Submissions for Wave 3 will close August 31st at 23:59 GMT.<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That’s a Monday, and for some of you, that may be in the afternoon.\u00a0 Fortunately you have more than two weeks between now and then, so there shouldn’t be any scrambling at the last second.\u00a0 To that end, I am going to re-iterate some key points from Kim’s last blog post:<\/p>\n
