Greetings Alejandra, I’ve been awaiting your input into this matter, since you are an alumna of the program. Thank you for commenting on this. I have the utmost respect for your opinion on this matter. Whilst I think the program overall has merit, I also think (with my SOPC member hat on now) that it needs proper metrics (as do so many other ICANN initiatives) in order for the Community at large to be able to properly assess the effectiveness of the program. Best Regards, /Stephen From: Ccnso-council <ccnso-council-bounces@icann.org> on behalf of Alejandra Reynoso <alejandra.reynoso@cctld.gt> Date: Monday, April 2, 2018 at 19:52 To: Katrina Sataki <katrina@nic.lv> Cc: ccNSO Council <ccnso-council@icann.org> Subject: Re: [ccnso-council] FW: [SOAC-Leaders-ICANNMeeting-Planning] INPUT PLEASE: ICANN Fellowship Program Community Consultation Dear Katrina and All As a fellowship alumni I believe the program was very good for me, since in 2011 (Singapore 41) it provided me with a good idea on what ICANN does and how it is organized, and in 2012 (San José 43) it allowed me to find my way within the ccNSO. It was in 2013 (Beijing 46) that I started actively participating in the ccNSO until this day, either with ccNSO travel funds or with .gt's travel funds (that we manage to negotiate a few times to keep our participation within the ccNSO steady). Other cases of people currently active in the ccNSO that are fellowship alumni: 1. Rafael Ibarra (.sv) - ICANN Board Member 2. Margarita Valdes (.cl) - ccNSO Councillor 3. Rosalía Morales (.cr) - member of CCWG on Use of Country/Territory Names as TLDs and ccNSO Strategic and Operational Standing Committee. 4. Jelena Ožegović (.rs) - member of ICANN On Boarding Program for the ccNSO 5. Grigori Saghyan (.am) - member of CCWG on Use of Country/Territory Names 6. Andrew Molivurae (.vu) - presented at ccTLD news. Please, take note that my memory is not good and I haven't cross referenced all fellowship alumni with ccNSO working group members, so it is very likely that I have omitted someone from the previous list (my apologies in advance). Many other ccTLD people have received ICANN fellowships that had allowed them to participate in ICANN meetings (and to attend ccNSO members meetings), that I'm sure otherwise wouldn't have been impossible. The full lists are here: https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/fellowship-participants-2016-04-19-en I've created a Google Doc with the questionnaire (https://goo.gl/o8A4vZ) but felt strange filling it, since I know a lot of this program for being a part of it and remaining in touch with it as a Community Mentor. I wonder if it is the same for everyone else. In any case, I leave it open for edition if you would like to use it.
