Thanks Rafik for the follow up. I think the selection criteria look good, however I wonder what will make anyone be sure of the criteria being met? In that spirit, I’ll ask the following: 1. Does the GNSO Council plan on providing a list of required ICANN Learn courses/basic GNSO Council material such as the ones that were shared with us at the SPS for instance? This would help anyone applying get guided through the needed documents, unless we expect them to collect the documents themselves. And this process i think would help us materialize the kind of knowledge we think is required as a baseline. (Checklist being met - helps us evaluate, and helps the prospective fellow understand what’s expected of them to know). 2. Concerning the point about being aware of the issues being discussed at the moment in the community, we should take into consideration that there are two types of fellows, those who have been in the space before and those who haven’t at all but could have great potential (maybe this should be calculated into the criteria too - or is it not the case anymore in the new fellowship program structure?) 3. Will this be reviewed at some point after the requirements of all SO/ACs are submitted? Thanks again, Elsa — On Mon, Apr 8, 2019 at 9:16 PM Rafik Dammak <rafik.dammak@gmail.com> wrote:

Thanks for sharing, Rafik.
When I think about fellowship selection, I also think about how we measure success once a fellow has been selected and completed any level of participation. I think much of what is outlined is the strawman is valuable for selection criteria. When we refer to “awareness,” we’re really referring to knowledge, and we may want to establish definitions of knowledge levels. For example, consider this these:
· Familiar = becoming aware, first introduction
· Basic = ability to talk about at a high level
· Fluent = comfortable getting into detail and teaching others
· Expert = subject matter expert, let me write a book on the subject
Working with defined levels of knowledge allows the Council to evaluate the effectiveness of the selection criteria and the engagement efforts that take place with the fellows to enable their growth and engagement in the community.
Thanks,
Darcy

Dear Keith, Rafik, Pam,
Now that the Council meeting of ICANN64 is behind you, I return to the request from the Fellowship Selection Committee for GNSO-specific target skills for ICANN Fellows in the ICANN66 selection round.
For your post-ICANN64 action item list, attached is the strawman I volunteered to prepare. If Council can finalise its list of criteria at or before its April meeting, these should be able to be applied to the ICANN66 selection round.
Best wishes,
Heather
