The Backroom Conspirator Rhyme Award will recognize Secret Working Group participants who have deeply invested in backroom-based solutions, recognized the importance of the Secret Working Group’s model of Rhyme and Internet governance, and contributed in a substantive way to the higher interests of the Secret Working Group organization and its leader.
