As we prepare to gather for ICANN53, it is important to acknowledge the vibrant role and critical impact of our community. Countless hours are spent in working groups across our supporting organizations and advisory committees developing and refining policies that ensure the security, stability, and resiliency of the global Internet. The Policy Development Support team is proud to help facilitate this work. Last year, our team assumed responsibility for coordinating, organizing, and executing community recognition efforts. From ICANN49 to ICANN52, we have recognized 45 community leaders for their extraordinary service and contributions. At ICANN53, we will celebrate three community leaders throughout the week. We are also developing a comprehensive proposal for community recognition programming that aligns with the implementation of the new ICANN meetings strategy. The community itself has embraced this spirit of appreciation through the Multistakeholder Ethos Award. A ten-member community selection panel has been reviewing nominations against a four-point criteria-set for this year's award <http://icann.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=818d573897ed5ea25ee71ebc1&id=88f5f48e5f&e=388a5d800a>. The decision of the panel will be announced during the opening ceremony at ICANN53. We hope you will join us in recognizing our community leaders at ICANN53 and beyond.
