@Rubik.
In regards to the GKA related discussion I think that the communication regarding the "cancellation" could have been handled much better. I'll take the blame for having not been around much to oversee pretty much anything for the past few months and my absence has largely contributed to causing this issue. Given that the community clearly want the awards to take place (and so do I) I will see to it that they do.
I'll make sure we have a thread posted by the end of this month in which the Comm. Coordinations and Volunteer team will seek feedback over the next few weeks regarding the awards so that anyone can have a good place to put their thoughts and contributions. More detail will be in the thread so keep an eye out for that over the next few days or so. Given that we will need time to collect this feedback and then organise the awards, I'll set a tentative frame of November/December to be holding the awards (with results being posted before the end of the year of course). While this time is different to when we usually hold the awards this should give us an opportunity to see how they fare at a different time of year.
