Colleagues - Nominations recently opened for the 2016 Multistakeholder Ethos Award: https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2015-12-10-en As part of this process, the GNSO Community has been invited to select up to 2 representatives to sit on the Selection Panel, which will evaluate nominations and choose the recipient. In previous years, this role has been filled by the two GNSO Council Vice Chairs (most recently, David & Volker). Our current Vice Chairs (Heather & Donna) have agreed to serve on this panel, and I think the GNSO Community would be well-represented by them. If there are no objections, I think we should proceed accordingly. Please let me know if you have any concerns with this approach. If not, I'll go ahead and communicate this to David Olive & his team. Thanks! J.
