For FlaviaR et alter:

The nomination and it's second have already been done.

The only thing to do is to put a mark before the person you vote the award
for ( a cross or a Yes/no as indicated) in this very post.
The result of the vote will be published on the 8th of September at 12:00 GMT.

You may feel free to nominate your favorite kook from now on by making a
(cross) post to AUK, kindly starting the subject line with "Nomination of
... from ..." with the exact existing Kook award and the person you
nomitate it for, accompanied by a short description of why you support
this nomination and asking for somebody else to second the nomination.

All this to make the work of the Friendly Neighbourhood Vote Wrangle's as
easy as possible.
