The
Evaluation Committee for the pioneer ICANN Multistakeholder Ethos Award
Programme 2014, has selected a longtime community member, Avri Doria, as the first-ever
recipient, reports ITRealms.
Avri's
nomination ITRealms learnt, received
the highest vote out of the 22 other nominees to win the award in recognition
of her multiple roles in ICANN, cutting across the Accountability and Transparency
Review Team-2 (ATRT2), the ICANN academy and being an active
participant in many working groups.
ITRealms also gathered that the Ethos
award noted her active and constructive engagement in other Internet fora such
as the United Nation’s (UN) Working Group on Internet Governance (WGIG), the
World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS), Internet Governance Forum
(IGF), the UN Working Group on Enhanced Cooperation (WGEC), the Internet
Society (ISOC), the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), the Internet
Research Task Force (IRTF), and others.
Avri
Doria, ITRealms recalled was a
Nominating Committee appointee to ICANN's GNSO Council from
2005-2009, and elected from the Non-Commercial Stakeholder Group (NCSG) from
2013 to now, Avri also chaired the GNSO and its council from
2007-2009. She has served in multiple GNSO working groups, as a key
participant on the Joint Applicant Support Program Cross Community Working
Group, and within several At-Large working groups. A resident of Rhode Island,
US, she is currently a policy and governance advisor to dotgay LLC, on the
research staff of the Association for Progressive Communications (APC) and a
member of the faculty of the International School for Internet Governance.
Overall,
the evaluation panel selected her as having demonstrated the best spirit of
collaboration as shown through empathy and a sincere desire to engage with
people from other backgrounds, cultures and interests.
Further,
she was reported according to available evaluation process to ITRealms
as having demonstrated willingness to reach out to new people, to listen and
really engage with others who do not necessarily share her viewpoints or
interests. She is well known beyond any one constituency or stakeholder group
as someone willing to have a true dialogue and work toward consensus. She is a
real steward of the multistakeholder model.

community evaluation panel was: Carolina Aguerre, John Berard, David Conrad,
Olivier Crépin-Leblond, Robert Guerra, Roelof Meijer, Jonathan Robinson and
