Hi all -- Just a head's up:

BOINC is a finalist for an notable award, and needs votes (by Sunday):

*Context:* The [World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS)](https://www.itu.int/net4/wsis/forum/2024) is a United Nations-sponsored initiative aimed at harnessing the potential of information and communication technologies to build inclusive and equitable information societies worldwide. BOINC has been nominated for [a prize at the 2024 forum](https://www.itu.int/net4/wsis/stocktaking/Prizes/2024), and has passed initial hurdles; the next and last step ("Phase 3") requires public votes. The award would be a very nice boost and validation for BOINC and all projects; if we can get our communities to vote, we should have a decent shot at this point...

Voting is pretty simple, takes just a few minutes; instructions are [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1x9Xi3tq7Y9dlDD0Xb0Ul0yYCXct5pDqIqssqARxvrXg/edit?usp=sharing)

(*The deadline for votes is Sunday: 31 March 2024, 23:00 UTC+02:00)
