Re: Honorary Citizenship / Honorary Ambassadors  

@nihylum  Thank you.

While I was reading the thread, a thought popped into my mind.  What if an individual who has been nominated to receive a special acknowledgement does not know about Asgardia or does not wish to participate or is rejected?

People who are nominated to receive an honorary citizenship or to obtain a title like Honorary Ambassador of Asgardia should get an official nomination announcement (a letter). Nominees who are not alive is another scenario where their family is asked to accept or decline to the nomination. So, there will be a chance to decline.

The committee itself will just promote a nomination to the officials of Asgardia which do finally accept or decline the nomination at its first step before any communication will be done. In sum, it is a doubly-linked process that involves more than one deciding entity.

The actual list of possible nominees are:
