Dear All The ICANN Community Onboarding Pilot program started within the ICANN Public Responsibility Department ( https://www.icann.org/public-responsibility) that is in charge of, among others, the following programs: 1. Fellowship Program 2. NextGen Program 3. ICANN Learn 4. Newcomer Program 5. Leadership Program To define the procedures for the ccNSO team (mentor/mentee), the ICANN Fellowship Coaching Guidelines served as an inspiration: https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/fellowship-coaching-guidelines-0... . Those guidelines, together with following the good practices from other constituencies and various onboarding programs, have resulted in creating a set of activities that the ccNSO onboarding team is required to perform: 1. Activities *before* the ICANN meeting: reading the Quick guide to the ccNSO (or taking the equivalent ICANN Learn course), getting introduced to the ccNSO website and wiki documentation, having Skype calls to meet up, answer questions and plan other activities. 2. Activities *during* the meeting: attending ccNSO and other relevant sessions, networking with the ccNSO and ICANN community, finding relevant connections depending on the respecting area of interest of the mentee/mentees. 3. Activities *after* the meeting: answering the questionnaires about the experience, writing a report about the mentor/mentee participation at the meeting, setting a plan for future engagement in the ccNSO community. 1. It is expected that a mentee gets acquainted enough to the work of ccNSO and ICANN community, to be ready to become a member of a WG, CCWG, contribute online and/or continue any form of active participation. 2. Another outcome of this program is for the previous mentees to become mentors to the new people, so this chain of mentorship is broadened and strengthened during each ICANN meeting. The accomplishments of the ccNSO onboarding team to date are: 1. The quick guide to the ccNSO: https://community.icann.org/display/COP22/ccNSO and it’s hardcopy version being distributed for four meetings already (up to 200 copies distributed) 2. The ICANN learn course: https://learn.icann.org/#/courses/course/23531e5e-ffab-4a53-898e-ecb30dc35ce... 3. Welcoming newcomers at ccNSO members meetings. 4. Following up on newcomers by the ccNSO onboarding team. 5. A first draft of a mentor guide. 6. Mentor/mentee activities repository for monitoring and deliverables. The ccNSO community could benefit from the structure of this program and help decrease the volunteers burnout by training and mentoring new people.
