Dear Alejandra, Thank you very much for your note. Looking forward engaging Everton starting from ICANN86. Dear Jenifer, as currently you are in mentoring process with your small group of assigned mentors, please, engage Everton and I will also include him in my general communication and planning from now on. As for the mentoring guidelines, we do have the document, which we share with SO/AC leaders while nominating the new mentors. The document is available here https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/fellowship-program-mentoring-gui... Please, let me know if you have any questions after reviewing the document. Respectfully, Siranush ------------------------------------ Siranush Vardanyan siranush.vardanyan@icann.org<mailto:Albert.Daniels@icann.org> Fellowship Program Manager Engagement Programs ICANN (www.icann.org<http://www.icann.org/>) [IMG_9682] One World, One Internet [signature_1379100555] From: Alejandra Reynoso Barral <alejandra.reynoso@gmail.com> Date: Thursday, April 16, 2026 at 6:32 AM To: Siranush Vardanyan <siranush.vardanyan@icann.org> Cc: Jenifer López <jenifer.lopez@utp.ac.pa>, "Everton T. Rodrigues" <everton@nic.br>, Sean Copeland <sean.copeland@nic.vi>, ccNSO Leadership <ccnso-leadership@icann.org> Subject: [Ext] ccNSO Fellowship Mentor update Dear Siranush I hope this message finds you well. Jenifer has informed the ccNSO Council that this will be her final term as a Mentor for the Fellowship Program. We anticipate that Everton Rodrigues will be her successor. To ensure a smooth transition and continuity, Everton will start to accompany Jennifer as off the upcoming ICANN meeting in Seville in all Mentor-related activities. Going forward, please include Everton in all related communications. During the most recent Fellowship Mentor appointment process, we noted that the ccNSO has not developed a formal selection procedure. As discussed previously, we believe the role would ideally be held by a Council member, someone familiar with both the ccNSO’s internal processes and the ongoing work across the other SOs and ACs. Additionally, it would be highly valuable for a Mentor to be a Fellowship alumni. With this in mind, we would greatly appreciate it if you could be so kind as to share a list of the key qualities, skills, and areas of knowledge you consider important for a Fellowship Mentor? Thank you very much in advance for your guidance and collaboration. Best regards, Alejandra ******************************************* Work like you don't need the money.
