>> Please explain how the nominee meets the Award criteria #2?
>>
>> 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

>> interests in order to achieve the group’s goals and best serve the 
>> ICANN community.
>>
>> Please explain how the nominee meets the Award criteria #3?
>>
>> 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.
>>
>> Please provide any further information in support of your nomination 
>> for panelists to review during the deliberation process as appropriate:
>>
>> 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.
