Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The evidence for a major award was deemed insufficient to establish its international significance and was too old to show sustained acclaim. The evidence for lesser awards and membership in associations also failed to meet the regulatory standards, as the awards appeared to be local distinctions from many years prior and the association did not require outstanding achievement for membership.
