<div class=""><br class=""></div>
<div class="">Sorry to throw this into your inboxes when we're all
fighting the madness, but the deadline is rapidly
approaching to nominate Jeff for the (formerly called)
"Ethos Award". The IPC had decided back in February to
nominate him, and now RySG is keen to join on, and perhaps
RrSG also. With this momentum going, I was hoping it might
be across the board for the GNSO.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
Would the NCSG like to join? Nomination attached, which I
will need to submit to the online application form by
Friday.</div>
<div class=""><br class=""></div>
<div class="">Very best wishes to you all, hope you're keeping safe
and sane,</div>

<ul class=""><li class="">RySG supports joint nomination</li>

nomination</li>
<li class="">ISPCP will not join joint nomination, but

with pandemic arrangements),so I'll poke you again
one more time tomorrow after the IPC meeting if I
don't hear back between now and then.</li>

<div class=""><p class="MsoNormal">Thanks Heather,</p>
<div class=""><p class="MsoNormal">I've brought your
suggestion to the attention of our
constituency at our call today. Those
participating in the conversation expressed
their agreement to Jeff being nominated.
Finally we decided to leave it up to the
members to file support personally before
the 27th.</p>
</div>
<div class=""><p class="MsoNormal">We also discussed the
rationale for the nomination. It may help to
improve the chances for Jeff if additional
aspects of his long lasting ICANN engagement
could be appreciated: eg Vicechair term on
GNSO Council, chair of the WG who drafted
the GNSO PDP (Annex A to the Bylaws) and the
related Manual in the GNSO Procedures where
he has shown outstanding capability of
cooperation.</p>

<div class=""><p class="MsoNormal">I should have thought
of this sooner but... better late than

meeting (now over a month ago, but
Cancun madness intervened) to nominate
Jeff for the formerly ICANN Ethos Award,
now Community Excellence Award. We have
the attached nomination in draft form,
and I had intended to submit it after
next Wednesay's IPC membership meeting.
I understand that RySG has also been
discussing nominating Jeff, and so the
thought arose to circulate our draft and
ask if perhaps this isn't one of those
rare moments in history for an all-GNSO
action? Or at least to ask if there are
other SG/Cs who would be interested in
signing on. </p>
