The rules for the Nebula Awards have been reformed (taking effect from next year’s awards, which will be for works published this year; this year’s awards still cover both last year and the year before).

I think this is excellent news. Indeed, I think I may have been the only person to raise this issue in an online public forum with Russell Davis when he was running for SFWA president; though in fairness had made a related point earlier in that thread. In his reply (which was positive but cautious) Davis reported that it had already been a topic of discussion elsewhere, and made it clear that he had been thinking about it himself.
