Dear Colleagues, As you probably know, nominations for ICANN's Multistakeholder Ethos Award have already started coming in. ICANN would like to organise this year's selection panel prior to the ICANN Public Meeting in Kobe. The panellists will evaluate the candidates against three criteria: 1. Demonstrated ability to work across community lines with both familiar and unfamiliar ICANN Stakeholders with the aim of consensus building and collaboration that substantiate ICANN's multistakeholder model; 2. Facilitator of dialogue and open discussion in a fair and collegial manner, through the spirit of collaboration as shown through empathy and demonstrating a sincere desire to engage with people from other backgrounds, cultures, and interests; and 3. Demonstrated additional devotional factors exhibited by time spent supporting ICANN's multistakeholder model and its overall effectiveness through volunteer service via working groups or committees. On our call next week, we should select two panelists to evaluate the candidates. Margarita has served on the panel for two years and, therefore, is not eligible for another term. Abibu has served for one year. To ensure continuity, it would have been good if Abibu agreed to do it for one more year. Participation in Ethos Award selection panel will be on our agenda. Please consider stepping forward! Thank you! Kind regards, ]{atrina
