HI All,

I noted that the applications for the Community Onboarding Program are due to ICANN by April 16. Has At Large created its own application form so that the ALAC selection Committee can make a selection and not have a rushed process like last time. Thinking backwards in time, if we need to make a decision by April 16 than the Selection Committee needs to have a meeting the week of April 9 and so applications need to be completed by the first week of April.  If we allow for two weeks to submit an application than this brings up to next week, March 26 as the date that the applications should be open.  I am suggesting that people have at least two weeks to submit their application especially since both Passover and Easter are in a few weeks.

What is needed to open up our application process and have it be announced and open by next week

Best,

Judith

About ICANN

ICANN's mission is to help ensure a stable, secure and unified global Internet. To reach another person on the Internet, you need to type an address – a name or a number – into your computer or other device. That address must be unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN helps coordinate and support these unique identifiers across the world. ICANN was formed in 1998 as a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation with a community of participants from all over the world.
