Dear Councilors, Happy New Year! We hope this email finds you well. This is a friendly reminder that the GNSO is currently accepting Expressions of Interest from individuals interested in serving as a Fellowship Program Mentor for ICANN81, ICANN82, and ICANN83. Important information regarding the Fellowship Program Mentor includes: • 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. • Mentors will serve a term that includes three consecutive ICANN Public Meetings, beginning with ICANN81 (ICANN81 - ICANN83 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). The GNSO may nominate one individual for this role. Individual self-nominations will not be considered. Additional information and details about the opportunity can be found here<https://gnso.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-03jan24-en.htm>, including the mentor guidelines and responsibilities. Interested individuals should apply by filling out the Expression of Interest<https://gnso.icann.org/en/group-activities/eoi-form-gnso-nominated-mentor-fellowship-2023-03jan24-en.docx> and submitting it to gnso-secs@icann.org<mailto:gnso-secs@icann.org> by 12 January 2024 at 23:59 UTC.
