Hi Carlos and all, Thanks a lot for your comments. if we follow your logic it means that only those who are responsible for the fellowship and NextGen programs are able to comment on its effectiveness, although fellowship is supposed to be beneficial for the entire community and should be assessed by the community. I asked on the GNSO call when the questionnaire was presented why it missed questions about the fellowship and NextGen (as these programs have a large share in the ICANN travel budget) and whether this would be added at the later stage. I was told that we can add our comments on this at the end of the questionnaire as general remarks. I believe there are a lot of concerns about these programs. I see that we have no consensus as to whether we can comment on this, but I do think it's worth to raise these concerns and that we as a GNSO council are in a position to do so. This is what "general remarks" section is for, in my opinion. So I am apparently with the drafting team and with Erika and Julf here that instead of deleting the paragraph about these programs, we might even add more there, e.g. highlight that they are not ICANN focused enough.

Good morning!
I have read the questionnaire again. I think that the questionnaire is asking questions about our own SO (only).
While I think the comment is interesting, I do agree with Donna that is falls outside of the Questionnaires realm.
So in good ICANN Style, If somebody wants to write a high level "rationale" about ICANN travel support policy, it make sense to add it in the email remitting the GNSO answers to the questionnaire.
But in my view, it does not answer any of the questions.
My two cents

Erika,
How about mentioning that there's concern that the Fellowship Program is not sufficiently focusing on ICANN issues? I made a recommendation below. If you don't like it, change it or don't include it. Both is fine with me.
I think it is a good addition.
Julf
