We reviewed many excellent candidates and had a limited number of seats to fill. Thanks to all of you who applied or were nominated. If you were not selected during this review cycle, your form will be automatically reviewed again in 2010, but we also suggest that you re-submit your nomination form in early Q1 to let us know about your most recent activities.

I encourage you to learn more about the CTP program and the nomination process.

Best,

Rich's recent post sparkled a long thread debating if the hame Citrix Technology Professional is the right name for the Award Citrix currently gives to exceptional individuals in our community.
 
I wanted to know what the general public thinks of that, if they like the current name or they choose something different.
 
I put together a quick poll so you guys can voice it up, and let us know what you think! 

What is the best name for the Citrix Award, currently known as CTP?	Choose
Citrix Technology Professional (No Change)
Citrix Most Valuable Professional (Citrix MVP)
Citrix Very Important Professional (Citrix VIP)

cheers,
Gus

*It seems like Citrix MVP has the lead!? I will keep the polls open for another week!
