[council] Posthumous nomination of Pam Little for the Dr. Tarek Kamel Award

[John McElwaine]

Mark, thank you for these kind comments on Pam’s contributions to national, regional, or global capacity-development programs related to ICANN's mission.  I have input them (paraphrased) to the RrSG prepared joint nomination form.

If any other councilors have input, we have until 17:00 UTC on Friday.

Regards,

John

Thank you for proposing this, which I support fully.

I would like to specifically point out that when I joined the Council during the pandemic, it was a tricky time for onboarding due to all the remote work.

However, Pam made herself incredibly available, was incredibly warm, and very generous with her time to provide support for an incoming Councilor. This is the kind of person that makes all the difference in a community like ours, and I'd like her to be remembered for this generosity.

If leadership needs a hand in putting together the nomination, let me know.

Regards

Dear Councilors,

GNSO Council leadership received an email from the RrSG ExCom letting us know that they are working on a posthumous nomination of Pam Little for the Dr. Tarek Kamel Award for Capacity Building<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_en_announcements_details_icann-2Dopens-2Dnomination-2Dperiod-2Dfor-2Ddr-2Dtarek-2Dkamel-2Daward-2Dfor-2Dcapacity-2Dbuilding-2D03-2D07-2D2023-2Den&d=DwMGaQ&c=qmi9WrYRGQEDDOxOwKrAjW7mWovpzN_EKyRbeK_zbP0&r=Kepk-9GEB6JgOj0vUGl8c0hdrRM7FW-8Is-VAQU1VAm5U0rBXiZs3BfB3GfKU2uR&m=8_M7szMy7FQ0g5FGPGzLltXmEWef1-3f7J6MZrlSTYrXTr6a2zVXmKz6BuvSaEC5&s=s9MI8alZ8P5y8xMY2pt-898RQr7Ce8K2oN9EddXKk-g&e=>, which they believe she is very deserving, particularly given the work she did for the APAC region.

Nominations close on 4 August 2023, but RrSG have graciously offered the GNSO council to be a joint nominator.  They expect to have a draft ready early in this week that we could share for input/review.  Please let us know if the GNSO Council supports these efforts.

If you want to mention any specific examples from Pam’s time on the GNSO Council with respect to the following, those comments would also be welcome:

1)            Significant contributions to national, regional, or global capacity-development programs related to ICANN's mission
2)            Developing capacity-building programs that positively influenced the multistakeholder model and diversified participation at ICANN

Kind regards,

John
