ICANN org staff is available to meet with individual community groups to answer questions and help increase understanding about the plans. Please email planning@icann.org to request a meeting. DUE TODAY: NextGen@ICANN Community Consultation Executive: Sally Costerton, Senior Vice President, Global Stakeholder Engagement FOR: All Community Leaders INFORMATION SHARING The NextGen@ICANN program is currently undergoing a community consultation <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001ffiiAWq6mW9v6GZzYbXT4WGZz4IsagyFykWlRm2p5i8b6...>. One request from the preliminary feedback received to-date was for ICANN org to explore the feasibility of having community volunteer representatives from Supporting Organizations (SOs), Advisory Committees (ACs), Stakeholder Groups (SGs), and Constituencies (Cs) to nominate individuals for the following two roles: 1. NextGen Selection Committee members 2. NextGen mentors For the Selection Committee, a time commitment of approximately 20 hours over three weeks is required (for each application round). Selection Committee members will typically serve for two years (or six application rounds). Mentors are expected to devote approximately 24 hours to pre-ICANN Public Meeting preparation with their mentees, to offer advice, networking support, and regular check-ins on-site, and to complete evaluations following the ICANN Public Meeting. Based on previous estimates, mentors spend about two hours per week during the six-week preparation period in advance of the meeting and about two hours per day providing on-site support at the ICANN Public Meeting. Mentors will typically serve for one year (or three meetings). Is your group interested in nominating individuals for either of these roles? By Monday, 16 December 2019, please take the following poll <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001ffiiAWq6mW9v6GZzYbXT4WGZz4IsagyFykWlRm2p5i8b6...> to help ICANN org can gauge the level of community interest. The findings of this poll will inform the proposed NextGen program approach that will be published for Public Comment. Note: You will not be asked to submit the names of potential volunteers for roles at this time. REMINDER: Opportunity for Strategic Outlook Trends Identification Sessions at ICANN67 Executive: Theresa Swinehart, Senior Vice President, Multistakeholder Strategy and Strategic Initiatives FOR: All Community Leaders INFORMATION SHARING ICANN org will hold Strategic Outlook Trends Identification sessions with the community at ICANN67. To prepare for that exercise, ICANN org will be seeking community feedback on possible formats and arrangements which will be sent through each community group’s leadership. The Strategic Outlook program <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001ffiiAWq6mW9v6GZzYbXT4WGZz4IsagyFykWlRm2p5i8b6...> is a joint effort among ICANN org, the community, and ICANN Board to identify and track trends that relate to ICANN and its mission and to make sure that relating opportunities and challenges are incorporated into ICANN's current and future strategy. New trends or shifts in existing trends impacting the operating plans (five-year or annual), and/or budget, will be factored into the annual iteration of those plans as appropriate. Significant shifts could also result in adjustments to the strategic plan. REMINDER: FY21 SO/AC Additional Budget Request Process Executive: Xavier Calvez, Chief Financial Officer FOR: All Community Leaders INFORMATION SHARING The Fiscal Year 2021 (FY21) Supporting Organization and Advisory Committee (SO/AC) Additional Budget Request process has begun. This additional budget approval process is part of the overall ICANN annual budgeting process that is for the review of specific requests from the community that are not already included in the budget but serve to further the key objectives of the requesting community group. Your active participation and adherence to procedural guidelines is greatly appreciated. Information concerning the FY21 SO/AC Additional Budget Request process, including timeline and request template can be found on the finance community wiki <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001ffiiAWq6mW9v6GZzYbXT4WGZz4IsagyFykWlRm2p5i8b6...>.

We look forward to your continued engagement on the SO/AC Additional Budget Request process for FY21. REMINDER: ICANN Fellowship Program Mentors From: Sally Costerton, Senior Vice President, Global Stakeholder Engagement FOR: All Community Leaders INFORMATION SHARING ICANN's Supporting Organizations (SOs) and Advisory Committees (ACs) are invited to nominate <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001ffiiAWq6mW9v6GZzYbXT4WGZz4IsagyFykWlRm2p5i8b6...> one individual each (total of seven) to serve as a mentor in the ICANN Fellowship Program. Mentors will serve a term that includes three consecutive ICANN Public Meetings, beginning with ICANN68. They will provide extensive pre-meeting preparation and on-site support for their assigned fellows, as well as complete a survey after each meeting. Mentors are expected to follow Fellowship Program guidelines to help ensure consistency in capacity development opportunities for fellows. They also play an important role to help fellows actively participate in ICANN's work. Mentors will receive travel funding support. Mentors cannot serve on the Fellowship Program Selection Committee <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001ffiiAWq6mW9v6GZzYbXT4WGZz4IsagyFykWlRm2p5i8b6...> at the same time they are serving as mentors.
