Dear Paul,<br>
<br>
personally, I'd like to support this nomination so please write me
down in support.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately I do not have the time to issue a consensus call for
this nomination on the EURALO mailing list, but all day tributes and
messages of support have been coming from EURALO members. Several of
our members have also suggested the same nomination. It is worth
noting that he has also held a leading role in the establishment of
the EURALO Individuals Association. That, in itself, shows how
Stéphane was active with so many communities in ICANN.<br>
Kindest regards,<br>
<br>
Olivier<br>

reeling from this news, we want to show appreciation for all

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">Stephane Van
Gelder became part of the ICANN community in 1999 when he
co-founded Indom, a French registrar that was later acquired
by Group NBT in 2010. He subsequently formed an independent
consulting firm, and also worked at StartingDot before it was
acquired by Afilias in 2016. During all of those years
Stephane served in numerous leadership roles, including as
GNSO Council Representative for the RrSG and GNSO Council
Chair (2010-2012), Nominating Committee representative and
Chair (2015), and RySG Vice Chair of Policy (2015-2018).
Throughout, Stephane strove to work across constituencies to
collaborate and build consensus on key issues facing the ICANN
community.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please explain how the nominee meets the
Award criteria #2?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">As noted above,
Stephane Van Gelder served in leadership roles in the RrSG,
the RySG, GNSO Council, and the Nominating Committee. These
key leadership roles required that he rise above partisan
politicking and seek consensus. In particular, his service on
the NomCom required that he engage with people from other
backgrounds, cultures and interests in order to achieve the
group’s goals and best serve the ICANN community.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please explain how the nominee meets the
Award criteria #3?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">Stephane Van
Gelder volunteered an enormous amount of time serving the
ICANN community. Besides all of the time he spent on the GNSO
Council, Nominating Committee, RrSG and RySG, Stephane also
contributed countless hours on Policy Development Process WGs
and CCWGs. A tireless networker, he was always debating with
colleagues across the community. Stephane also made the time
to brief ICANN Fellows on the how the ICANN community
functions.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please provide any further information in
support of your nomination for panelists to review during the
deliberation process as appropriate:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">Stephane Van
Gelder tragically died from injuries suffered during a traffic
accident on 26 March 2018. While we’ll never know what other
services he may have provided the ICANN community, Stephane’s
lasting legacy will be the significant body of work he
performed over the years. We believe this legacy fully lives
up to and deserves the recognition of ICANN’s Multistakeholder
Ethos Award.<o:p></o:p></p>
