I have found, by chance, as follows:

"2003 FIP Web Site Evaluation Cancelled

The FIP evaluation of philatelic Web sites for 2003 has been canceled,
according to Francis Kiddle, president of the FIP Literature Commission and
FIP director, Charles Peterson. The need for this action was realized last
month when the requirements of other duties of the primary participants in
the operation of these evaluations this summer became apparent.
...
It is anticipated that these evaluations will probably be resumed in 2004.

My primary reaction to this message is sadness. This defensive answer to my
initial complaints is not surprising, but is definitely not what I wanted...!!

I think that web site competitions are an important part of the future of
philately, and I sincerely hope that FIP will bring new persons into their
organization to re-establish this annual competition again soon....

Hopefully with a little more talent and time to do what they proposed
to do.
