Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the necessary sustained national or international acclaim at the time of filing. The evidence for an award was deemed a local academic honor, not a national or international prize. Other evidence, including published materials and requests to judge the work of others, was disqualified because it all occurred after the petition's filing date and could not be considered retroactively.
