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

Thu Aug 3 14:41:38 UTC 2023

Hi,

I'd like to share 2 examples.

During the pandemic, the APAC Space used to hold readouts after each ICANN
meetings. As the vice-chair of GNSO Council, Pam would always come and
share the GNSO policy discussions with the APAC community. Once I raised a
question in chat by the end of one of the readouts, wasn't expecting any
formal response due to the limited time. To my surprise, Pam followed up on
my question with an email after the call and suggested to schedule a skype
call to explain more and make sure I don't have any other questions. We
ended up having a 30-min skype call where she answered all of my stupid
questions with extreme patience and valuable insights. I never really
talked to her before the skype call, and this was one of my dearest
memories since I started participating in ICANN.

My organization holds a capacity-building workshop every year as an effort
to encourage Taiwanese youth to participate in ICANN. We had the honor to
have Pam as our speaker to introduce GNSO in 2021, when she was the
vice-chair of GNSO Council. Although everything was remote, the
participants could feel her passion even through the screen.

Don't know if any of these could be of use, but thought I'd share with you
guys.

Best,
Manju
