CLOSES TOMORROW: Nominations for Dr. Tarek Kamel Award for Capacity Building

ICANN recently opened a one-month nomination period for the Dr. Tarek Kamel Award for Capacity Building.

 

ICANN first introduced [r20.rs6.net] the Dr. Tarek Kamel Award for Capacity Building in January to recognize ICANN community members for significant efforts in developing capacity in areas related to ICANN's Mission. The award was established in honor of the late Dr. Tarek Kamel, an Internet pioneer known for his contributions to global Internet governance. At the time of his passing, Kamel was ICANN's Senior Advisor to the President and Senior Vice President for Government and Intergovernmental Organization Engagement.

 

Submit your nominations here [r20.rs6.net] by Friday, 21 August 2020.
