Dear All, 

 

On behalf of Jonathan Zuck, Chair of the ALAC, this is a call for Expressions of Interest (EoIs) to represent the ALAC/At-Large as either an ICANN Fellowship Mentor or Fellowship Selection Committee representative.

 

Details of the ICANN Fellowship Mentor and the Fellowship Selection Committee positions are noted below. 

 

ICANN Fellowship Mentor Responsibilities 

Eligibility for Fellowship Mentors:

• Mentors support up to eight fellows per meeting. Mentors will assist newcomers and returning fellows to become actively involved in the ICANN community and its policy development processes, working groups, and regional work.

• Mentors generally must plan on a time commitment of approximately 30-40 hours before, during, and immediately after each ICANN Public Meeting. This includes extensive pre-meeting preparation, support for their assigned fellows during ICANN meetings, and post-meeting reporting.
• Each mentor will serve a term that includes three consecutive ICANN Public Meetings, beginning with ICANN78.
• The role is open to all experienced community members; mentors are not required to have been involved previously with the Fellowship Program.
• Mentors are expected to follow Fellowship Program guidelines [icann.org] to help ensure consistency in capacity development opportunities for fellows and to help fellows actively participate in ICANN's work.
• Mentors will receive travel funding support (if applicable).

 

Additional details of the ICANN Fellowship Mentoring program are available on the Fellowship Mentoring program website. 

 

Fellowship Selection Committee Responsibilities

The ICANN Fellowship Selection Committee is responsible for assessing all applications for the ICANN Fellowship received through the online application system. Selection Committee members will then determine which applicants have best met the posted Applicant Selection Criteria. A time commitment of approximately 30-40 hours over four to five weeks is required (for each application round).

 

Additional responsibilities:

• Support outreach efforts of the Fellowship Program
• Work closely with Fellowship Program staff to follow the implementation and evaluation process
• Update criteria for Fellowship selection regularly (every two years)

 

Members of the Fellowship Selection Committee shall serve for a total of two years (6 application rounds).

 

Additional details of the ICANN Fellowship Selection Committee are available on the Fellowship Selection Committee webpage.  

 

EOIs for the positions of ICANN Fellowship Mentor and the Fellowship Selection Committee representative should be sent to At-Large staff by Monday, 23 January 2023 at 23:59 UTC. 

 

The 2023 ALAC Appointee Selection Committee (AASC) will review all EoIs for the position of ICANN Fellowship Mentor and Fellowship Selection Committee representative.

 

At-Large staff will send the names of the selected ALAC/At-Large Fellowship Mentor and Fellowship Selection Committee representative to the relevant staff by the deadline of 31 January 2023.

    
Kind regards,

At-Large support staff
