Because you have no Garage account.

I composed my list-of-people-I'd-like-to-nominate based on 2 criterias:

1. Positive attitude to the Maeo Community, contribution to the community, general helpfulness towards other Maemoans.
2. Garage account with enough Karma to be eligible as a candidate.

The 2nd point is somewhat negotiatible as the amount of Karma needed can be amended by Council if the candidate is recognized as valuable member, but the Garage account is mandatory AFAIK.

Be assured that if you'd qualify on the 2nd point you would be high on my list of candidates.
