We're almost at 800!!!
By the way....some folks who are leaving long comments may not see them displayed by their signature. I found if they're too long, they don't show up even though I do approve them. Please try to keep the comments short. Some folks have submitted very long comments and they don't display. I apologize to anyone who has not had their comment appear.
I generally approve everything, except those that are rude, nasty, vulgar, or insulting.

I got an email yesterday from a person who signed the petition asking what will happen now that INXS no longer has a U.S. record contract, therefore affecting sponsorship for the star. I was at a loss on how to answer her.
What do you guys think? Maybe we should contact Martha Troup or someone else in INXS management? Do they have a record contract in another country (Oz, maybe)? Any ideas?

I was at a loss on how to answer her. What do you guys think? Maybe we should contact Martha Troup or someone else in INXS management? Do they have a record contract in another country (Oz, maybe)? Any ideas? here's the lowdown (if you look at the criteria, it says 'community', and i wonder what community they are are refering to... the industry? since being employed or being a citizen of the US isn't mentioned, (queen, sting, and the bee gees are on the walk already) i think it's safe to say it won't affect the nomination The Walk of Fame is a chronological history of the Hollywood-based entertainment industry and honors those who have made significant contributions in the categories of radio, television, motion pictures, recording and live performance. The official nomination period is announced in the Hollywood Entertainment Trade publications and an appropriate news release is disseminated to the Los Angeles area print and broadcast media. The Walk of Fame Committee meets annually. Nomination of an individual or group does not automatically equate to approval of a star in the Walk of Fame. Several hundred applications are reviewed annually, from which an undetermined number is selected. All nominated artists are carefully and objectively evaluated. Those not selected the first year will automatically roll over for a second review the following year. If it is not approved in the second year, nominees must be resubmitted When nominating an individual or group, the sponsor must submit the nominee’s qualifications as well as contributions to the community and/or civic-oriented activities. The application must be accompanied by a biography (not exceeding two pages) and photograph of the nominee. Non-returnable samples of the nominee’s work may also be submitted (i.e. in the recording category -- a music CD; Motion Picture – a DVD). After the Walk of Fame Committee has made its selections, the artist must be approved by the following agencies: the Board of Directors of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce and the Los Angeles City Board of Public Works, with the final approbation being the Los Angeles City Council. Criteria for Star on the Walk of Fame 1. Professional achievement 2. Longevity of five years in the field of entertainment 3. Contributions to the community The recipient must agree to attend the dedication ceremony. In case of a fan nomination, a letter of agreement must be sent by celebrity management. There is a five-year waiting period after death for nominations of deceased individuals. The Committee does not necessarily select posthumous honorees each year. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce makes every effort to schedule a dedication ceremony on the date requested by the honoree. A 60-day lead period is needed for required permits, the manufacturing of the star, and advance publicity. Please be advised that if your nominee is selected and the induction does not take place within five years of the selection date, the nominee must be re-submitted during another voting period. The sponsorship fee is $15,000*. The Committee does not accept signature petitions, postcards or letters. Deadline for nominations is May 31, 2007**. For more information call (323) 469-8311. Send submissions to: Hollywood Walk of Fame 7018 Hollywood Boulevard Hollywood, CA 90028 * Sponsorship fee subject to change.

Pixie, thanks for posting that. I actually have the link to the WOF website as a favorite...I had made it a favorite when I was in the process of putting the together the petition and left it there.
SNS, yeah, I'm leaning towards contacting Martha Troup. I need to get an E- or snail mail address for her.

We're more than halfway to the goal now! Does anyone have any way of contacting Martha Troup or any other person involved in INXS management? ?
