(in particular) is still reeling from this news, we
want to show appreciation for all that Stephane
contributed to the ICANN community over the years. To
that end, we are nominating him for the 2018
Multistakeholder Ethos Award (see below).

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

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