Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The evidence provided for membership in associations (Sigma Xi) was insufficient as the organization was too large to imply elite status. The evidence for judging the work of others (peer review) was largely dated after the petition's filing and was not proven to be beyond what is typical for the field.
