To whom it may concern: After reviewing the comments on proposed changes or comments as a Fellow, now Alumni I believe: 1. The fellowship Program must have a clear definition of who can apply, hence, selection criteria. It does not seem clear the difference between Next@Gen (besides the age criteria, and the University criteria). 2. The link between Next@Gen and Fellowship Program. It is feasible that an individual can start as a Next@Gen and continue as a Fellowship Program participant, without clear importance of the previous contact with ICANN and its’ contituentcies. It would be helpful to have metrics on how this contributes (if it does) to enhance involvement in ICANN OSs/ACs. 3. ICANN Learn Courses. As a former Fellow and now Alumni, it seems than the online courses need to include a more detailed exploration of individuals interests. I would suggest: a) quizzes have questions where individuals need to resolve some form of case study, b) some questions should be more focused on expressing opinions, instead of knowing facts, c) mechanism to have questions scrambled once taken and not performed as expected. Thus, allowing participant to review theory/section and expect ‘new’ questions. 4. I believe that the number of participants per ICANN Meeting should be evaluated. This due to the fact that the lack of metrics seems to indicate if the size is adequate and the ROI is reasonable. One would expect that approximately 50% of Fellows would be involved in WG after participating in an ICANN Meeting. I would recommend a three meeting evaluation (with metrics) of reducing the number of participants to 45. This would be accompanied by a more detailed selection criteria. 5. Diversity/Underrepresentation. This is a crucial aspect of the selection process. To me it seems important that among the criteria this must be considered. I would suggest that some cultural elements be considered, on the basis of additional value some participants might bring to a meeting (as a Coach). 6. Language barrier. The language barrier has not been mentioned as a limitation. Although WGs and ICANN Meeting have translation this seems to be a compelling factor for some individuals interested in participating in the Fellowship Program.
