Sent on behalf of the WT5 Co-Leads

Dear Work Track 5 and Working Group members,

During the Work Track 5 call on 15 November, the leadership team proposed starting an informal mentorship/buddy program to support WT5 members who are new to participating the PDP process. 

Are you a WT5 member and/or Subsequent Procedures WG member who is experienced with the PDP process and/or WT5 subject matter and would like to volunteer as an informal mentor/buddy for other members? If so, we would like to hear from you. As mentioned above, this would be an informal commitment. You could devote as much or as little time as you want to supporting other members. You would simply be a point of contact for newcomers to answer questions about process, norms, and subject matter. Staff can assist in connecting potential buddy pairs.

At this point, we are not asking for any firm commitment, but simply want to better understand if there is sufficient interest from potential mentor/buddies to go forward. Please email gnso-wt5-buddy@icann.org before our next WT meeting on 29 November 2017 if you think you might be willing to assist.  

Kind regards,

Annebeth, Christopher, Olga and Martin

WT5 Co-Leads
