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 (ICANN84-ICANN86)

Eligibility for Fellowship Mentors:

• Mentors 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, on-site support for their assigned fellows, and post-meeting support, where applicable.
• Each mentor will serve a term that includes three consecutive ICANN Public Meetings, beginning with ICANN84 (ICANN84–ICANN86).
• Mentors are expected to adhere to the Fellowship Program guidelines 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).
• Mentors cannot serve on the Selection Committee while serving their mentor terms

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

Fellowship Selection Committee (2025-2026)

Fellowship Selection Committee Responsibilities

• Members should plan on a time commitment of approximately 30–40 hours over four to five weeks for each Public Meeting.
• Selection Committee members will typically serve for two years, which encompasses six Public Meetings.
• Work for this role will begin in April 2025 with the selection of fellows for ICANN84.
• 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.
• Selection Committee members will not receive travel funding support.

EOIs for the positions of ICANN Fellowship Mentor and the Fellowship Selection Committee representative should be sent to At-Large staff by Friday, 3 January 2025 at 23:59 UTC. 

The 2025 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 2025.
