This will be reflected in his SOI. * Glen de Saint Gery -- Alternate attending for Brian Winterfelt who has a conflict. * Additional member from the SSC who joined since the last meeting from the SSC: David Cake. 2. Review of upcoming SSC assignments and selection processes: a. Fellowship Mentor Selection: See details on the Wiki at: Fellowship Mentor<https://community.icann.org/display/GSSC/GNSO+Appointed+Mentor+-+ICANN+Fell…> SSC Assignment Overview * The ICANN Fellowship Program has invited <https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/222267654/digest_2022_11No…> each of ICANN's Supporting Organizations (SOs) and Advisory Committees (ACs) to nominate one individual each (total of 7) to serve in the capacity of mentor for the Fellowship Program to serve for three consecutive ICANN meetings beginning with ICANN78. * The GNSO is holding an Expression of Interest process [gnso.icann.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/gnso.icann.org/en/announcements/announce…> to solicit volunteers for the GNSO-nominated mentor position. The EOI has been announced on the GNSO website and via email to the SG/C leaders. The EOI closes on 21 December 2022. The GNSO Council has tasked the Standing Selection Committee (SSC) with evaluating the candidates and recommending one individual. The GNSO Council will review the SSC's recommendation and make a final decision on the nominee. Background * The aim of the ICANN Fellowship Program is to strengthen the diversity of the multistakeholder model by fostering opportunities for individuals from underserved and underrepresented communities to become active participants in the ICANN community. Fellows are exposed to the workings of the ICANN community, are assigned a mentor, and receive training across different areas of knowledge and skill building before, during, and after an ICANN Public Meeting. * The program was launched in 2007 at ICANN29 in San Juan. In 2014, the program expanded considerably, allowing more eligible newcomers and returning fellowship alumni to participate. In brief, mentors are expected to: * Provide advice and guidance * Share experience as appropriate * Offer encouragement and support * Identify resources that will help mentees * Encourage mentees to join ICANN community groups based on sector of interest * Introduce fellows to community members * Set deliverables for mentees during different stages of the program (pre-meeting, during meeting, and post-meeting) * Participate in mentor post-meeting evaluation Tentative Proposed Timeline: * 1 December 2022: Launch Fellowship Mentor EOI * 21 December 2022: Deadline for Fellowship Mentor EOI * 22 December 2022: Open poll for SSC members complete on Fellowship Mentor candidates * One day prior to SSC meeting in the first week of January 2023: Close poll for SSC members complete on Fellowship Mentor candidates * First week of January 2023: SSC meeting to discuss Fellowship Mentor candidates * 9 January 2023: Motion Deadline for January GNSO meeting – placeholder motion possible * 18 January 2023: Last day to submit name of recommended candidate * 19 January 2023: GNSO Council meeting – Council confirms candidate recommended by SSC * 31 January 2023: Deadline for the GNSO to submit name to the Fellowship Program Discussion: * Criteria are outlined in the EoI document, also in the mentoring guidelines. * Look for what types of things will be in applications. * Three applications so far, all from the NCSG – see the wiki; deadline for applications is tomorrow, Wednesday, 21 December. * Question: What if a candidate doesn’t have an SOI? Answer: It’s not a requirement, but desirable because one of the criteria is active involvement in GNSO processes, which generally would require an SOI. ACTION ITEM: Staff to share a test poll for the Fellowship Mentor position for reference. See: https://icann.getfeedback.com/preview/YwTN8tl0 [icann.getfeedback.com]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/icann.getfeedback.com/preview/YwTN8tl0__…> b.

The GNSO Council has tasked the Standing Selection Committee (SSC) with evaluating the candidates and recommending one individual. The GNSO Council will review the SSC's recommendation and make a final decision on the nominee. * Heather Forrest served but had to step down; Sebastien Ducos took up the role – interest was expressed by others so a selection process will be held. * There are 7 members and they serve for 2 years; GNSO will have one member. * Goal is to find someone who is an active participant in ICANN process and an active participant. Background * The ICANN Fellowship Selection Committee is responsible for evaluating applications for the ICANN Fellowship<https://www.icann.org/fellowshipprogram> and selecting Fellowship recipients. * Each Supporting Organization/Advisory Committee (SO/AC) is invited to nominate one representative to serve on the ICANN Fellowship Selection Committee, for a total of up to seven individuals.

I believe I have to recuse myself from the selection process for this specific role. I thought it appropriate to let everyone know about that during this call and seek guidance from staff on what I need to do now. I think I can still participate in the deliberations for the selection committee, but need clarification for that. Please do let me know.” * Note that Arsene’s group, NSCA, will need to appoint an alternate – should do so to the SSC list and the GNSO Secretariat. * Arinola also confirmed that she will apply as a mentor candidate and will recuse herself from that selection process. 3.

by Emily Barabas Jan. 3, 2023

Jan. 3, 2023

Dear all, Happy New Year! As you have seen from the calendar invite, our next SSC call will take place on Wednesday, 11 January at 13:00 UTC. If you have not yet done so, please make sure to fill out this poll after reviewing EOIs for the Fellowship Mentor: https://icann.getfeedback.com/r/CXtWgFT2. The poll will close on Tuesday, 10 January at 13:00 UTC. Kind regards, Julie and Emily From: Emily Barabas <emily.barabas(a)icann.org> Date: Thursday, 22 December 2022 at 20:22 To: "gnso-ssc(a)icann.org" <gnso-ssc(a)icann.org> Subject: Poll Open - GNSO nominated Mentor to the ICANN Fellowship Program Dear all, The EOI for the GNSO nominated Mentor to the ICANN Fellowship Program is now closed. Seven applications were received. You can find the materials here: https://community.icann.org/display/GSSC/GNSO+Appointed+Mentor+-+ICANN+Fell… Seeing no concerns raised about the draft poll format, staff has gone ahead and opened the poll: https://icann.getfeedback.com/r/CXtWgFT2 Once you have reviewed the candidate materials, please complete the poll. The poll will close 24 hours before our next call, which is still in the process of being scheduled, but will be in the second week of January. Once the call date and time is set, we’ll send out a precise deadline for the poll. Please let us know if you have any questions. Happy holidays and best wishes for 2023! Kind regards, Julie and Emily From: Emily Barabas <emily.barabas(a)icann.org> Date: Tuesday, 20 December 2022 at 15:39 To: "gnso-ssc(a)icann.org" <gnso-ssc(a)icann.org> Subject: Please review format by 21 Dec - draft poll - GNSO nominated Mentor to the ICANN Fellowship Program Dear all, Thanks for your participation on today’s SSC call. As noted on the call, we will soon kick-off the selection process for the GNSO nominated Mentor to the ICANN Fellowship Program. Details of the assignment are available here<https://community.icann.org/display/GSSC/GNSO+Appointed+Mentor+-+ICANN+Fell…>. As noted on the call, the first step in the selection process will be for all SSC members to complete a brief poll to help them organize their thoughts about the candidates. This will help support the discussion when the SSC meets to discuss the candidates early next year. Here is a link to the draft poll (in “preview mode”) for use in supporting the upcoming selection process https://icann.getfeedback.com/preview/YwTN8tl0. The poll is based on the design of the poll used for previous Mentor selection processes, so it is hopefully still fit for purpose. For clarity, you are not being asked to complete the poll at this time. This is just a preview of the format and contents. If you enter responses in preview mode, they will not be recorded. If you have any concerns or feedback about the design of the draft poll, please share your comments no later than tomorrow, 21 December. The poll itself will open on 22 December, once the EOI deadline has passed.
