Dear Councilors, GNSO Council leadership received an email from the RrSG ExCom letting us know that they are working on a posthumous nomination of Pam Little for the Dr. Tarek Kamel Award for Capacity Building<https://www.icann.org/en/announcements/details/icann-opens-nomination-period...>, which they believe she is very deserving, particularly given the work she did for the APAC region. Nominations close on 4 August 2023, but RrSG have graciously offered the GNSO council to be a joint nominator. They expect to have a draft ready early in this week that we could share for input/review. Please let us know if the GNSO Council supports these efforts. If you want to mention any specific examples from Pam's time on the GNSO Council with respect to the following, those comments would also be welcome: 1) Significant contributions to national, regional, or global capacity-development programs related to ICANN's mission 2) Developing capacity-building programs that positively influenced the multistakeholder model and diversified participation at ICANN Kind regards, John Confidentiality Notice This message is intended exclusively for the individual or entity to which it is addressed.
