FINAL VERSION TO BE SUBMITTED IF RATIFIED

FINAL DRAFT VERSION TO BE VOTED UPON BY THE ALAC

The At-Large Advisory Committee applauds the initiative of the Multistakeholder Ethos Award. Indeed whilst oftentimes the upper strata of the ICANN ecosystem receive frequent praise, seldom are the people working hard in working groups credited for their efforts.

The ALAC agrees with the suggested list of criteria but would recommend adding a factor of time spent (devotional factor) by the candidates in achieving their goal of facilitating multi-stakeholder dialogue. Discussion and dialogue are one thing - doing the hard lifting to keep the system going is another.

In a bottom-up environment such as ICANN, it is vital to recognize people at all levels of the multi-stakeholder system in any of ICANN's many communities, if only to keep the bottom-up multi-stakeholder system going. The ALAC therefore fully supports the creation of this award and looks forward to applaud its first laureate(s).
