There was a suggestion on another board that Courtesans be in "good standing" to be eligible for COY nomination.  However, the power to elect the LPIN Awards Courtesan of the Year rests solely with the registered voters, since they are the clients who receive the brothel services.  The current eligibility Official Rule is that, "Working Girls must have been active in LPIN during a portion of the calendar year 2017 to be eligible for Courtesan of the Year nomination.  If a Lady has previously won COY, she is ineligible regardless of her working name." 

Therefore, a Courtesan is eligible for COY nomination if she hasn't previously won Courtesan of the Year, and she was an active LPIN Courtesan during the contest year.  A Courtesan must possess a Brothel Work Permit issued by their respective Nevada County to work at a licensed LPIN brothel; consequently, the awards committee doesn't further investigate or police legal Courtesans to establish subjective standards because that would be unfair and discriminatory.  In addition, the application of the "good standing" subjective standards would be arbitrary because personalities would undoubtedly become involved.  The awards committee will not allow their personal feelings to be considered to influence or restrict COY eligibility, because that would constitute a manipulation of the contest.   

Good policy

Sorry you even had to address that ridiculous suggestion of, what, "Good Standing?"

Last year "Good Standing" meant "Good Standing with Q".
