REMINDER: Call for SOs/ACs to Nominate Fellowship Program Mentors ICANN invites the Supporting Organizations (SOs) and Advisory Committees (ACs) to nominate volunteers to serve as Fellowship Program Mentors. Each group is welcome to nominate one individual for this role. Individual self-nominations will not be considered. • Mentors generally must plan on a time commitment of approximately 30-40 hours before, during, and immediately after each ICANN Public Meeting. This includes extensive pre-meeting preparation, on-site support for their assigned fellows, and post-meeting reporting. • Mentors will serve a term that includes three consecutive ICANN Public Meetings, beginning with ICANN81 (from ICANN81 - ICANN83 inclusive). • Mentors are expected to follow Fellowship Program guidelines to help ensure consistency in capacity development opportunities for fellows and to help fellows actively participate in ICANN's work. • Mentors will receive travel funding support (if applicable). For more information on the guidelines and expectations, please read about the mentorship program here [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001jj34KF-uOwQ5V41ue0osS3lTwVIXN8N71NYKZyS8Ivrd4VoaPdrkQdBWLHBFzDWpvNe3GztEVuCT1tUEBN9CZXb8lOWbo_C9zIMr4aPC6Ma7_OmSuBI3puKJh1etfVKksba2pl5freUg0ooFCzB7w12KtQRJrj-754YFwdmeyOwaM-tq8osKwbMKJkQWiAVEyCzHPc0-56VjGUm1yFiyTA==&c=d6FTQOqUbnA8-vtzE-Zq7GtvybLsTNMa8g9MbgAuQH7oa3q6uoCfgg==&ch=E5Gn6_yVyoAcoyKJoMc4vZHIP4jPDN83GmC2MzVM8IgE3WonpL6K4Q==__;!!PtGJab4!5Vc0Ex1Fk6Fp7HOoOOA9BGKf6iLnva2azh-DPbecSXVb2DQlEZcUKtinH5HgrqNv9EETeiNAgxXf-LTkyB-35JWTJNFjfmc$>.
