RE: [council] Blog on the Multistakeholder Ethos Award Nomination Process

["Jonathan Robinson" <jrobinson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

 

David Olive needs people with good experience (ideally 5 years or more in
order to assist with evaluating contributions of a similar length of time)
to join the panel of community members to review nominations.

 

He asked me if I was willing and able to join and, in turn I mentioned it to
the Council Vice Chairs.  They are both potentially willing but could also
defer to an experienced and interested volunteer.

 

If you are particularly interested in joining the evaluation panel and have
the experience to do so, please let me know as soon as possible.

 

Thanks,

 

 

Jonathan

Last week, ICANN launched the nomination period for the first
Multistakeholder Ethos Award. ICANN President and CEO Fadi Chehadé initially
proposed the award at ICANN 48 in Buenos Aires. A formal public comment
forum
<http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/multistakeholder-ethos-award-06
jan14-en.htm>  this past January sought input from the ICANN community for
this effort.

This award program seeks to recognize community members who have served in
leadership roles in multiple ICANN working groups or committees and
demonstrated collaboration with different supporting organizations and/or
advisory committees. ICANN hopes to acknowledge community participants who
have deeply invested in consensus-based solutions, affirmed the importance
of ICANN?s multistakeholder model for Internet governance, and contributed
in a substantive way to the higher interests of ICANN?s organization and its
community.

Candidates for the award will demonstrate at least five years of
participation in the ICANN community. Both individuals and organizations are
eligible for the award. A panel of community members is being convened to
help review all nominations and determine the best candidates for the first
awards. Winners for this award will be established on a merit-based point
system evaluated against three criteria:

1.      Demonstrated multistakeholder volunteer service via working groups
or committees.
2.      Demonstrated spirit of collaboration through engagement with other
community members with the aim of consensus building.
3.      Demonstrated facilitator of dialogue and open discussion in a fair,
cordial and collegial manner.

ICANN is currently seeking nominations. The nomination period opened 21
April 2014 and closes on 17 May 2014. Community members interested in
submitting a nomination are invited to send an e-mail to
ethosaward2014@xxxxxxxxx including:

1.      Name of nominee.
2.      Community of nominee.
3.      Reasons for nomination.

Reasons for outlining the candidate?s merit for the nomination may be as
brief or as long as required.

The selection panel looks forward to receiving and reviewing nominations in
the coming weeks. Selected award winners will be presented at ICANN 50 in
London. Community members are critical to ICANN?s success, and ICANN is
committed to recognizing them for their efforts through the Multistakeholder
Ethos Award.
