Thanks to all who submitted nominations for the IBM Mail Next Design Advisory Program. We received an overwhelming response and on Monday notified successful nominees of their acceptance into the Program.

According to his blog they are keeping applications on file to review the number of participants they included. There was a requirements list on the form itself that read as follows (none of this is NDA and is public per the nomination form):
Program criteria:
- Signed non-disclosure agreement
 must be in place.  Instruction will be provided to companies selected for the program.
- Current IBM SmartCloud Notes/Engage customer or a Business Partner with a SmartCloud demo acct
 
- One person from each company to participate
- Type of participant: A business end user 
who would be using IBM Mail Next and have an opinion about its function.
- No travel is required
- A willingness to be a reference
 for IBM Mail Next.

So if you did not make it in the first round , but maybe met some criteria do not give up yet.  IBM is also having a webcast on July 23rd with more updates on IBM Mail Next.
