Dear NCSG colleagues,

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.

Would the NCSG like to join? Nomination attached, which I will need to submit to the online application form by Friday.

Very best wishes to you all, hope you're keeping safe and sane,

Heather Forrest

Thanks very much to Graeme, Wolf-Ulrich and Donna for your responses. Here's where I understand the situation (correct me if I'm wrong):

  *   RySG supports joint nomination
  *   Graeme to confirm whether RrSG supports joint nomination
  *   ISPCP will not join joint nomination, but members may choose to nominate him individually.
  *   BC and NCSG - no response as yet (understandable, when we're all flat out dealing 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.
  *   Nomination draft revised to incorporate the excellent suggestions from ISPCP - I have highlighted major changes in yellow - as attached.

Best wishes to all, be healthy,

Heather

I agree with Wolf-Ulrich that the inclusion of additional aspects of Jeff’s long standing participation in the community would likely improve his chances.

I can confirm that the RySG is willing to support the IPC in its nomination of Jeff.

Thanks Heather,
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.
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.

Best regards
Wolf-Ulrich

Dear Donna, Graeme, Wolf-Ulrich, Claudia, Stephanie,

I hope this message finds you all well and out of harm's way.

I should have thought of this sooner but... better late than never. The IPC proposed in its February 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.

The deadline is next week, the 27th, so we need to keep an eye on time.

Best wishes to all,

Heather
