by ICANN At-Large Staff Jan. 7, 2014

Jan. 7, 2014

[http://www.icann.org/images/gradlogo_bow.jpg]<http://www.icann.org/> News Alert http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-2-06jan14-en.htm ________________________________ Draft Criteria and Process for Selection of Multistakeholder Ethos Award Pilot Program 6 January 2014 Forum Announcement: Comment Period Opens on Date: 6 January 2014 Categories/Tags: Participation Purpose (Brief): ICANN invites comments on the draft criteria and evaluation process for a pilot award program to recognize ICANN community participants for both multistakeholder collaboration efforts as well as years of service. Called the ICANN Multistakeholder Ethos Awards, the pilot program will seek to recognize one to three individuals or organizations that have demonstrated service to the ICANN community as a whole. The ideal winner or winners will have served in leadership roles for multiple ICANN working groups or committees and collaborated with more than one supporting organization and/or advisory committee in a significant capacity. To be eligible, the recipient must be able to demonstrate participation in the ICANN community for at least five years total. We propose that the current chairs of the Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees rate the nominees using a merit-based point system evaluated against three criteria: * Demonstrated multistakeholder volunteer service via working groups or committees. (Maximum points: 10) * Demonstrated the spirit of collaboration as shown through empathy and a sincere desire to engage with others who do not share interests or viewpoints. (Maximum points: 10) * Demonstrated facilitator of dialogue and open discussion in a fair, cordial and collegial manner. (Maximum points: 5) All comments and replies will be read and considered. A final criteria for the pilot program will be published on or around 24 February when the call for nominations opens to the public. The Multistakeholder Ethos Award pilot program was announced during the Opening Ceremony of ICANN's 48th Public Meeting in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The Public Comment period is open from 6 – 27 January; the Reply period is open from 28 January – 17 February 2014.

ICANN News Alert -- Fellowship Application Round Opens for ICANN 50 in London
by ICANN At-Large Staff Jan. 7, 2014

Jan. 7, 2014

[http://www.icann.org/images/gradlogo_bow.jpg]<http://www.icann.org/> News Alert http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-03jan14-en.htm ________________________________ Fellowship Application Round Opens for ICANN 50 in London 3 January 2014 PLEASE NOTE: For those individuals who have applied previously, you will need to reset your password due to upgrades in our application system; apologies for the inconvenience. What is the Fellowship Program? The Fellowship Program has demonstrated success in its mission to build capacity in the ICANN multistakeholder environment through focused interactive engagement between newcomers to ICANN and community members at each of the ICANN meetings. The program seeks to identify members of the Internet community who either have not previously been able to participate in ICANN processes or constituent organizations, or those who require further exposure to the Internet community and its work but cannot travel and attend a meeting without financial support. This outreach program seeks participants from developing regions and countries of the world, in order to help create a broader base of knowledgeable constituents who will become the new voice of experience in their regions and beyond. Applications to become an ICANN Fellow are assessed for each meeting by an independent selection committee. Priority is given to applicants who: meet minimum program requirements; are current residents of developing and least developed nations; and are interested in participating in the ICANN multistakeholder process and its supporting organizations, advisory committees or stakeholder groups. An effort will be made to include participants from the region in which the ICANN meeting is being held. All confirmed fellowship participants must comply with the terms and conditions of the Fellowship program, as outlined at http://www.icann.org/en/about/participate/fellowships/terms-conditions. As stated within these terms and conditions, ICANN is a California non-profit public benefit corporation and must therefore comply with all the laws and regulations of California and the United States. Fellows are responsible for obtaining all travel visas once accepted into the program. ICANN will purchase tickets for Fellows after all necessary documentation has been obtained and Fellows demonstrate that they have obtained all necessary travel visas. Once all of the requirements for travel are met, the Fellowship program arranges for and covers the costs for airfare and hotel, as well as providing a stipend to assist with some meeting and subsistence costs. The stipend is provided after each selected candidate successfully completes the requirements of the Fellowship program, Recipients will be expected to actively participate in and contribute to ICANN processes during and after the meeting. As always, registration for ICANN meetings is free for anyone wanting to attend. Find out more about applying »<http://www.icann.org/en/about/participate/fellowships>
