Fwd: [ALAC-Announce] Statement on changes to the Fellowship Program
by Christopher Wilkinson Aug. 2, 2016

Aug. 2, 2016

> Good afternoon: >> >> The Fellowship programme should not blindly follow the Word Bank GDP per capita rankings. >> >> There are other considerations that should be taken into account, such as: >> >> - income distribution (there are many less well off people, in otherwise rich countries, who do not have institutional support at home) >> >> - diversity, including regional, gender and accessibility >> >> - social and professional relevance to the multistakeholder objectives of ICANN in their regions >> >> - please, no ageism! >> >> I trust that At Large would support this approach. >> >> Regards >> >> Christopher Wilkinson >> >> >> On 29 Jul 2016, at 00:06, Alan Greenberg <alan.greenberg(a)mcgill.ca> wrote: >> >>> >>>> To: ALAC <alac(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org> >>>> From: Alan Greenberg <alan.greenberg(a)mcgill.ca> >>>> Subject: Statement on changes to the Fellowship Program >>>> >>>> As discussed during the ALAC call earlier this week, there is a Public Comment just about to close on changes to the ICANN Fellowship Program. >>>> >>>> Some people in At-Large have been (rightfully) VERY vocal about perceived problems in the Fellowship program, specifically: >>>> >>>> - people from some countries (such as Argentina) have recently become ineligible to participate in the Fellowship Program because the country has had its status upgraded in the World Bank list of development status (based on income); >>>> - some people, particularly from some island territories were not eligible. >>>> >>>> In both cases, the status of the overall economy might not have met the criteria, but that did not alter the perception that the people were not well represented in ICANN. >>>> >>>> The proposed changes to the Fellowship Program address these problems and more. >>>> >>>> Unfortunately, no one chose to volunteer to draft a brief statement of support for the changes. >>>> >>>> At the ALAC Leadership Team meeting yesterday, it was decided that the Fellowship Program is sufficiently important to At-Large, the people we represent, and to ICANN in general that we MUST submit something.
