[[Avri Doria]] was announced as the first ever recipient of the [[ICANN Multistakeholder Ethos Award]] during the Opening Ceremony. The award is given to a community member in recognition of his/her work in ICANN groups, programs, and participation in the Internet Governance community in general.

====President's Speech====
====President's Speech====
After thanking the speakers that came before him and congratulating Avri Doria for her award, [[ICANN]] CEO [[Fadi Chehade]] took a few moments to look back on ICANN's history and remark on the historic event of the 50th ICANN meeting. He spoke about how much the Internet has grown since the first ICANN meeting, and highlighted [[IDN]]s to explain that in the future far more people will be accessing the Internet in their own language and on non-Latin keyboards. He outlined ICANN's core values and stressed that these must not change (such as Transparency) even as the industry and Internet changes at a rapid pace.

Chehade's last statement was that he wanted to leave the audience by reminding them of ICANN's core values, and said that the ICANN community "needs a little harmony". Upon mentioning harmony, a surprise performance by a Welsh Men's choir commenced to finish out the Opening Ceremony.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwzzLzbPA88 President's Opening Speech] ''Youtube.com''; Retrieved 09 July 2014</ref>

===High Level Government Meeting===
The UK government hosted a high-level meeting during ICANN London that brought together representatives from governments of the world to discuss Internet Governance and specifically the NTIA transition of the IANA contract. Many representatives expressed that the transition should not leave specific governments or interest groups with more control over the Internet, but that governments should have a voice in political issues in Internet Governance. Many government representatives recognized that the stewardship of IANA should be a shared responsibility between governments and private sector groups while other representatives stressed giving governments a stronger voice than other stakeholders.<ref>[https://www.icann.org/news/multimedia/339 Video from High Level Government Meeting] ''ICANN.org''; Retrieved 10 July 2014</ref>
===GAC Participation & Communiqué===
The GAC drafts a report to the ICANN board during each ICANN meeting, titled a GAC Communique, in which they give advice to the board on decisions involving policy and implementation. Highlights from the London Communiqué include:
*The GAC advises the Board regarding the [[.africa]] string, saying it would like to see an expedited process, especially once the [[Independent Review Panel]] comes to a decision regarding the two applicants for the string. They reaffirm their decision that [[DotConnectAfrica]]'s application should not proceed.
*The GAC mentioned the controversy surrounding [[.wine]] and [[.vin]], where some European GAC representatives strongly felt that the applications for these strings should not proceed without proper safeguards for geographic names at the second level. However, the GAC was unable to reach consensus advice regarding this issue and thus did not relay any formal advice to the Board.
*The GAC requested safeguards in the New gTLDs for IGO (Inter-Governmental Organization) names at the second level, and specifically related such advice for names relating to Red Cross and Red Crescent.<ref>[https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/gac-to-board-25jun14-en.pdf GAC London Communiqué] (PDF) ''ICANN.org''; Retrieved 10 July 2014</ref>
