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+Fello...>. 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. Kind regards, Julie and Emily Emily Barabas Policy Development Support Senior Manager Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Phone: +31 (0)6 84507976 www.icann.org<http://www.icann.org/>
