ICANN’s distinctive multistakeholder model brings together community members with different backgrounds and interests to work towards a joint goal: to ensure the security and stability of the Internet’s unique identifier systems. Due to the presence of so many different opinions and interests within ICANN’s policy-making structure, courtesy and collaboration are key. The Multistakeholder Ethos ICANN Community Excellence Award recognizes those ICANN participants who have deeply invested in consensus-based solutions and in the importance of ICANN’s multistakeholder model to Internet governance. Fomerly known as Multistakeholder Ethos Award, this award was renamed ICANN Community Excellence Award in 2020.
