[Lana Brindley <openstack@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm inclined to agree with you, Anne. My main concern is that, while I think what Hugh does is valuable, I'm unsure how to give him the recognition (especially in light of the fact that the "Active User Contributor" status is still non-existent).

I'll give this thread another 24 hours or so, then report back to Hugh with the findings. At this stage, I think there's not enough support to grant him extra ATC status, so if you disagree now would be the time to yell about it.

In case you haven't heard of it, they are working on a status similar to ATC. See http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/user-committee/2016-June/001067.html for ideas on what they're adding there. Timing might be late for Hugh but this is the category in my mind.
