Dear all, The Development and Public Responsibility Department has embarked on a full review of the ICANN Fellowship Program to ensure that the program continues its original purpose of strengthening the Multistakeholder Model through capacity building. This 45-day Public Comment period has been undertaken in order to gain community insight and recommendations on the Projected FY17 Improvements to the ICANN Fellowship Program as it relates to Fellowship application criteria and assessment process. https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2016-06-14-en Current Status: Stakeholder feedback is requested on documents in Section III only, concerning the Projected FY17 Improvements. Section IV documents are for your information; updates to the Terms of the Program and Selection Committee have remained intact as far as content with only wording and layout changes. Next Steps: At the close of the Public Comment Period on 29 July, ICANN staff will assess and analyze the feedback provided in order to finalize and implement the improvements in the Fiscal Year 2017.
