Call for EOIs for position of At-Large Participant on the ICANN Community Excellence Award Selection Panel
by ICANN At-Large Staff Jan. 7, 2023

Jan. 7, 2023

Dear All, On behalf of Jonathan Zuck, ALAC Chair, this is a call for a position of At-Large Participant on the ICANN Community Excellence Award Selection Panel. Launched in 2014, the ICANN Community Excellence Award recognizes the ICANN community members who have deeply invested in consensus-based solutions and contributed substantively to the ICANN multistakeholder model. The At-Large community may name up to two people to comprise the panel that will select the award recipient(s). The current At-Large members are Raymond Mamattah, who is completing his second consecutive term, and Laura Margolis, who is completing her first term. The guidance we have received notes that it would be ideal for panelists to serve a maximum of two consecutive terms on the selection panel to ensure diversity and variety of input and equal opportunity among community members to take part in this valuable effort of fellow recognition. Laura has confirmed she is willing to serve a second year. Therefore, we need to fill one Participant slot. Interested members of the At-Large community are encouraged to send their Expression of Interest (EoI) to Jonathan and At-Large staff by 13 January 2023. The ALAC Appointee Selection Committee will review all EoIs during the week of 16 January 2023. Kind regards, At-Large Staff At-Large Staff ICANN Policy Staff in support of the At-Large Community Website: atlarge.icann.org<https://atlarge.icann.org/> Facebook: facebook.com/icann<https://www.facebook.com/icannatlarge>atlarge<https://www.facebook.com/icannatlarge> Twitter: @<https://twitter.com/ICANNAtLarge>ICANNAtLarge<https://twitter.com/ICANNAtLarge>
