<p class="MsoNormal">The CPH ExComs have prepared these responses to nominate Stephane Van Gelder for the 2018 Multistakeholder Ethos Award. Please review for accuracy and feel free to add any additional text.
<b>Nominations are due 28 March</b> (Wednesday), so we don’t have much time. Several ExCom members have been in contact with colleagues across the community, and we expect broad support for this nomination.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please explain how the nominee meets the Award criteria #1?<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<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.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please explain how the nominee meets the Award criteria #2?<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></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.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please explain how the nominee meets the Award criteria #3?<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></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.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please provide any further information in support of your nomination for panelists to review during the deliberation process as appropriate:<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></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.<u></u><u></u></p>
