Dear Council colleagues, I am pleased to advise of an extension (one week, I anticipate, based on Ergys's email - specifics to follow when the website is updated) in the input period on the Fellowship Program.

Dear Rod,

Many thanks for the question. I suspect others on this thread will also benefit from the clarification.

The intent is to collect feedback from each SO/AC/SG/C rather than individual members from those groups. This will ensure that any resulting changes reflects the guidance provided by the community structures.

Would a one week extension help?

Best, Ergys

David,

I want to be clear on what the intent is here since the ask is not explicit that I can tell. Are you looking for each SO/AC to provide their feedback as an SO/AC as a whole, or are you looking for us to disseminate this to our respective members so they can contribute individually? Reading between the lines, I’m concerned that it’s the former, and with only 10 days notice, I don’t think any SO/AC could turn around a consensus opinion on this - I know SSAC won’t be able to. I’m sure individuals who have been tracking this situation will have plenty of good insight to share, but of course, cannot speak for each group, just as individuals associated with a group.

Thank you in advance for your clarification to me on this, and apologies for being dense - I just want to make sure I’ve got this right.

Cheers,

Rod Rasmussen SSAC Chair

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
