> "An award to an individual, a company, or a scientific or technical
> organization for developments and/or standardization involved in
> engineering technologies which either represent so extensive an
> improvement on existing methods or are so innovative in nature that
> they materially have affected television."

> Note the past perfect tense of the key words: "materially have

> Note, too, the term "engineering technologies."

> subcommittees report to the main committee, which requires a 2/3 vote
