Community-driven work is at the core of ICANN's mission. Our community spends countless hours in working groups within ICANN's Supporting Organizations, Advisory Committees, and other groups, including the Customer Standing Committee, the Empowered Community Administration, and the Nominating Committee. Collectively, these community groups develop, advise on, and refine policies and processes that ensure the security, stability, and resiliency of the global Internet. The ICANN organization is grateful for the tireless contributions and spirit of collaboration demonstrated by all these groups and we are proud to help facilitate this work.
Community recognition is a year-long effort at ICANN. Based on your feedback, we will shortly be announcing the opening of the nomination period for the 2020 Multistakeholder Ethos Award. Thank you for all the valuable feedback about how we can further enhance the ICANN community recognition program.
We have just had another successful ICANN Public Meeting where we acknowledged the vibrant role and critical impact of our community. On Wednesday, 6 November, we celebrated the contributions of 58 community leaders who concluded a term of service between ICANN63 and ICANN66 with a reception. Yesterday, the ICANN Board of Directors passed a formal resolution to recognize these community leaders:
