Your way forward seems logical to me Heather; if Council does want to comment separately then a high-level shout out of Michele’s 2 points (budget cuts & KPIs to ensure that there is real ROI) would make sense, and fit within our overall good governance/stewardship goal.

Dear Rafik, Ayden, Martin, all,

 I understood the interventions as we wrapped up Donna's review of the "evil spreadsheet" as that, in view of the tremendous volume of work we now have on our collective plates as Council (liaison expectation documentations, refilling liaison roles, White Paper on PDP incremental improvements, ICANN61 planning), we would do well to leave the comment opportunity to SG/Cs, and that would also give the individual SG/Cs room to leverage the specific and individualised experience with Fellows in their communities.   If I have misunderstood and there's a clear need for Council itself to make a statement, I'll encourage any and all to jump in here and say so.

Best wishes,

Heather

Hi Heather,

if there is support within the council to respond to this comment since some points were made before with regard to budget, I will be happy to lead the effort.

Best,

Rafik

Dear Council colleagues,

I recall Michele Neylon making reference to the Fellowship review during our 3 days together. Please find here documentation about that process.

Best wishes,

Heather

Dear Community Leaders:

We’re launching a community-wide consultation on the Fellowship Program to help inform its future direction.

The attached paper provides an overview of the program, including a breakdown of the data available on the Fellows, a questionnaire, and other details about the consultation process.

We anticipate that there will be interest in further discussing this process and our team will be available to speak with community groups about the current Fellowship Program and the questionnaire at ICANN61 or remotely. Questions about the program and responses to the questionnaire should be sent to fellowshipconsultation@icann.org by 30 March 2018.

Grateful if you could share this informationso that each community group is aware of and has the opportunity to participate in the consultation.

Best,

Ergys Ramaj
Sr. Director, Public Responsibility Support, ICANN
