Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the minimum requirement of three regulatory criteria. While the beneficiary met the criteria for judging and authorship of scholarly articles, the petitioner abandoned the 'original contributions' criterion on appeal and failed to establish eligibility under the 'artistic exhibitions' criterion, as that is limited to the visual arts and does not apply to a surgeon.
Criteria Discussed
Judging The Work Of Others Original Contributions Of Major Significance Authorship Of Scholarly Articles Artistic Exhibitions Or Showcases
