CALL FOR EOIs - At-Large NextGen Mentor and NextGen Selection Committee Member
by ICANN At-Large Staff Sept. 23, 2024

Sept. 23, 2024

Dear All, On behalf of Jonathan Zuck, ALAC Chair, this is a call for interested persons to apply for the positions of NextGen Mentor and NextGen Selection Committee member. The NextGen@ICANN Program seeks nominations to fill three (3) slots for the 2025 Mentor Program. These appointments will serve for the ICANN82-84 meetings. The NextGen@ICANN Program is seeking nominations to fill three (3) slots for Selection Committee members. Each SO/AC is asked to nominate candidates for these positions. Individual self-nominations will not be considered. Please note that the ALAC will be able to fill one slot for each of the positions. NextGen@ICANN Program Mentoring The NextGen@ICANN Program Mentoring process helps participants to prepare for the NextGen@ICANN experience and strengthens the relationship between NextGen and the ICANN community. ICANN provides travel funding (including hotel accommodation and a stipend) for up to three SO/AC-appointed mentors to attend an ICANN Public Meeting<https://meetings.icann.org/en/> as a NextGen@ICANN Program mentor. Mentors support up to four NextGen@ICANN participants per meeting. Mentors will assist newcomers to become actively involved in the ICANN community and its policy development processes, working groups, and regional work. Mentors are expected to devote considerable time to pre-meeting preparation with their mentees, to offer advice and networking support and regular check-ins on-site, and to complete evaluations following the meeting. Based on previous estimates, mentors spend about 40 hours during the six-week period in advance of the meeting and about 10 hours on-site at the ICANN meeting. For more information about the role of a mentor, see ICANN NextGen Program Mentoring Guidelines<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/nextgen-mentoring-guidelines-13…>. NextGen@ICANN Selection Committee The NextGen@ICANN Selection Committee is responsible for assessing all applications for the NextGen@ICANN Program<https://www.icann.org/public-responsibility-support/nextgen> received through the online application system. Selection Committee members will then determine which applicants have best met the posted Applicant Selection Criteria. Each Selection Committee member will serve a two-year term, as detailed in Terms of Service. However, if several community groups nominate representatives, the term may be shortened, and group representatives may serve on a rotating basis. A time commitment of approximately 20 hours over three weeks is required (for each application round). Additional information on Selection Committee responsibilities and terms of service are available here<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/nextgen-selection-committee-2020-09-2…>. Interested At-Large Members are requested to send their Expression of Interest (EOI) to At-Large Staff no later than Friday, 4 October by 23:59 UTC. The ALAC Appointee Selection Subcommittee (AASC) will review the EOIs and notify the ALAC of their selections. ALAC Nominations must be submitted to the NextGen Support Staff no later than Thursday, 31 October 2024.
