- changing of wording of Prizes
Collatz: New:
"a recipient's 40th birthday must not occur before
1 January of the year in which the prize is awarded"
Pioneer: "American pioneers", remove "American"
The prize committee felt that the wording:
"The prize commemorates the spirit and impact of the
American pioneers." reminds of a very negative connotation
of the word "American pioneers" as these have behaved
very negatively towards the indigenous population.
- conflict of interest
the prize committee suggests that none of its members should
receive a prize
