[awards-program] Meeting Notes: Awards Program 1/7

[Jesse Silver]

Hi all-

I will be on an airplane during today's meeting and thus send everyone 
my best.

Regarding the submission process, I don't think we need that hammered 
out quite yet - I'm pretty sure all we need are the rules, and a webpage 
by 1/23.

Have a great day!
-J
