ICANN Community Excellence Award

ICANN’s distinctive multistakeholder model brings together community members with different backgrounds and interests to work toward 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 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 of Internet governance. Formerly known as Multistakeholder Ethos Award, this award was renamed ICANN Community Excellence Award in 2020, and is given each year at the ICANN Policy Forum.
