That's for THIS YEAR. Those are the folks that are reading NOW. You have to go back one year to see who judged the ones who are currently being awarded. :-)

Oh, unless that's your point, in which case, yes, next year might fair better. Meg Elison is a previous PKD winner, the author of _The Book of the Unnamed Midwife_. Brenda Clough is a Hugo and Nebula nominated short story writer and (if I can judge by looking, which I'm not sure is necessarily valid) a PoC.

Not knowing Elison at all, I would still feel confident saying that she wold probably have thrown (R)evolution across the room at some point.
