High-Level Notes

Ergas Ramaj (ER) noted that it is key to have a level of Return on Investment for the Fellowship and NextGen Programs. 

ER noted that defining participation is important. Fellows may participate up to 3 ICANN Public Meetings. 

The first public meeting is focused on intent. The second and third Public Meeting is more on participation. 

There were two public comments to confirm whether the Fellowship and NextGen programs were fit for purpose. 

The SOACs define the target the objectives for diversity. The program support team speak with the SOACs to learn about their diversity targets and needs and wants. 

Mentorship programs are key to ensure that the Fellows and New Comer students find their way in the journey. 

What is the bridge for Fellows/Next Gen to the SOACs? Is it sufficient? How can it be improved? 

Questions and answers covered many issues of the Fellowship and NextGen Programs.
