Honorary Fellowship

Mark Curtiz
That William Adams (a.k.a Will.i.am) was made an Honorary Fellow for his outstanding contributions to engineering is fantastic - it also intrigued me as to the process involved. Does anyone know?

And I also wondered why the process is not invoked more often to reflect the contribution of the many noteworthy individuals - for example people like Elon Musk whose contributions to engineering and technology are very visible and exceptionally impressive. Is there a nominations process?

    Presumably the second category was the operative one. The association with the IET and its aims has to be a consideration. The above reference contains a link to all Honorary Fellows, past and present.
