Call for SO/ACs to Nominate Fellowship Program Mentors and Selection Committee Members
ICANN invites its Supporting Organizations (SOs) and Advisory Committees (ACs) to nominate volunteers to serve as mentors in its Fellowship Program and to serve on the Fellowship Program
Selection Committee. Each group is welcome to nominate one individual for each role.
Interested SOs/ACs should select their respective Fellowship Program mentor and Selection Committee representative no later than
31 January 2025 and notify ICANN Fellowship Program Manager Siranush Vardanyan at siranush.vardanyan@icann.org. Individual self-nominations will not be considered.
Mentors:
• Mentors generally must plan on a time commitment of approximately 30-40 hours before, during, and immediately after each ICANN Public Meeting. This includes extensive pre-meeting
preparation, on-site support for their assigned fellows, and post-meeting reporting.
• Each mentor will serve a term that includes three consecutive ICANN Public Meetings, beginning with ICANN84 (from ICANN84 - ICANN86 inclusive).
• Mentors are expected to follow Fellowship Program guidelines to help ensure consistency in capacity development opportunities for fellows and to help fellows actively participate
in ICANN's work.
• Mentors will receive travel funding support (if applicable).
Selection Committee Members:
• Members should plan on a time commitment of approximately 30-40 hours over four to five weeks for each Public Meeting.
• Selection Committee members will typically serve for two years, which encompasses six Public Meetings.
• Work for this role will begin in April 2025 to select fellows for ICANN84.
• Selection Committee members will not receive travel funding support.
For more information on the guidelines and expectations, please go here for additional details on the Mentorship program and here for additional details on the Selection Committee.
Mentors cannot serve on the Selection Committee while serving their terms as mentors.
