No deadline has been fixed for his decision, and nothing has been said or will be said about the possible use of the funds. Please see the text and laudations below for what is truly important: Dr. Perelman&#8217;s great gift of a solution to the century-old conjecture of Henri Poincar\u00e9, and Thurston&#8217;s geometrization conjecture. Their solution was celebrated at a conference in Paris held June 8-9, 2010.
