SSC Assignment Overview
The ICANN Fellowship Program has invited 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.
The GNSO has opened an Expression of Interest (EOI) to solicit volunteers for the GNSO-nominated mentor position. The EOI closes on 7 December. The GNSO Council has tasked the Standing Selection Committee (SSC) with evaluating the candidates and recommending one individual in time for the Council to consider the recommendation at the 20 December 2018 Council meeting. The GNSO Council will review the SSC's recommendation and make a final decision on the nominee.

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.
