| − | If a Fan GoHship is an honor, the '''Worldcon Fan GoHship''' is the ultimate accolade and as such has a much higher standard than FGoH at a regional convention. Like any [[Worldcon]] GoH (see the discussion under [[GoH]]) a Worldcon FGoH is [[fandom's]] equivalent of a Nobel Prize.

| − | A Worldcon FGoH should have been active in fandom for at least thirty years and should have made ''major'' (positive) contributions in more than one area of fandom. It should ''never'' be given for sheer longevity, and not normally for someone who excels in only one thing.
