Welcome & Multistakeholder Ethos Award Presentation
Welcome to ICANN56! Please join us for opening remarks and share as we present ICANN's Multistakeholder Ethos Award. The Multistakeholder Ethos Award Program, launched in June 2014 in London, seeks to recognize long-standing community members who have served in leadership roles in multiple ICANN working groups or committees, and demonstrated collaboration with different Supporting Organizations and/or Advisory Committees.
The Multistakeholder Ethos Award recognizes ICANN participants who have deeply invested in consensus-based solutions, acknowledging the importance of ICANN’s multistakeholder model of Internet governance, and contributed in a substantive way to the higher interests of ICANN's organization and its community. Recipients of the Ethos Award are selected by a panel of community members representing the different SO/ACs.
For more insights on the award program, please consult the Ethos Award Space <https://community.icann.org/x/dYllAw>.
