Dear All,

ICANN invites ICANN's Supporting Organizations, Advisory Committees, Stakeholder Groups, Constituencies, and Regional At-Large Organizations to nominate volunteers to serve on the NextGen@ICANN Selection Committee and to serve as NextGen@ICANN mentors. Each group is welcome to nominate one individual for each role.

How to apply?

Candidates who volunteer to represent the ccNSO on the NextGen@ICANN Selection Committee, or who wish to serve as ccNSO appointed NextGen@ICANN mentor, should send their expression of interest and a short bio to joke.braeken@icann.org, no later than Thursday, 8 October 2020 (23:59 UTC).

Selection Committee:

A time commitment of approximately 20 hours over three weeks for each application round is required. Selection Committee members will typically serve for two years, or six application rounds.

Mentors:

A time commitment of approximately 24 hours each round is expected, including extensive pre-meeting preparation and on-site support for their assigned NextGen mentees. Mentors spend about 10 hours per week during the 6-week preparation period in advance of the meeting and about two hours per day providing on-site support at the ICANN meeting. Mentors will typically serve for one year, or three meetings. Mentors are expected to follow NextGen@ICANN Program [newsalerts.icann.org] guidelines to help ensure consistency in capacity development opportunities. Mentors will receive travel funding support.

Mentors cannot serve on the Selection Committee at the same time they are serving as mentors. If several community groups nominate volunteers for each role, the length of service may be reduced to allow for greater stakeholder diversity.

For more information on the guidelines and expectations, please visit this page for more information about Mentors and this page for the Selection Committee.

Best regards,

Joke Braeken
