<p>I'll discuss guidelines within the BC and with my two
mentees. However, I want to mention that in the BC, we also
have our own 'coaching' of the senior leadership invitees to
each of the ICANN meetings. This is possibly more like what
Rapid Sun is suggesting. </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>For example, for each of the ICANN meetings when the BC has
invited one or two senior leaders, working with the BC
Secretariat, I do at least one one hour coaching call when the
attendee(s) are invited. Our wonderous BC Secretariat explains
the BC website, our processes for engagement, etc. and I focus
on demystifying ICANN. [and demystifying the BC, of course --
who are our officers, our members, key issues re governance of
ICANN and of gTLD policy]. </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>For their attendance at ICANN, we have a sort of triage
approach: here are the important BC and CSG meetings, and here
are a few more sessions that you may be interested in --
depending on where they come from --e.g. for our executives
from Africa, I propose the African Strategy session, for our
recent attendee from Egypt, we attended the MENA strategy
session, for our LATEM senior executives, we propose the Latin
American Strategy session. We add in of course the public
forums and other events that are relevant to their interest.
Just an other example, as two of our recent BC executives are
quite sophisticated on financial issues, we proposed that they
attend the budget working groups [with those of the BC who are
already engaged]. </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>When they arrive at ICANN, we try to have them co located at
a hotel with one of the officers, typically the Vice Chair of
Finance and Operations, who is the key contact for this
program. They are greeted, and sometimes, if appropriate, we
have a small tea/coffee, or dinner with 2-3 of the BC Outreach
Committee members. One of the Outreach Committee offers
to escort them to registration for badging. And we introduce
them to Board members, GAC members, other leaders from the
community throughout the week. </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>We have recently been using the ICANN Information booth as
the place to convene during coffee breaks, and that is
working very well as we want our executives to become quickly
independent but know that someone from the BC outreach
committee are there to advise and introduce. </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>This is above and beyond our on boarding of newcomers, but it
will be reflected in our final documents as we want to do much
of this for any newcomer who is qualified to become a BC
member. </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Probably the BC will have mentorship guidelines, including
time commitments, historical expertise, reputational standing
in the community, and attendance records for any commitments
at ICANN, as we are after all businesses. I do not suggest any
such criteria for any other group, as Ayden notes and Olivier
reinforces, each group is quite unique. </p>

<div style="background-color:#FFFFFF">Hello all,<br>
<br>
I have read this proposal from the GAC processes and found
it interesting. I do agree with Ayden that it places a high
workload on the Coaches to produce much documentation which,
whilst I find useful, is unlikely to attract any coaches
that are already very overworked, especially in the pure
volunteer part of ICANN. But of course, I think that each
part of our community should develop its own guidelines that
fit their community's needs - and Rapid Sun's document is
helpful for us.<br>
Kindest regards,<br>

<div>Hi,<br>
<br>
We do not have mentorship guidelines for the NCUC, and I
do not think they would be helpful for us. Maybe they
work for other communities. I have just skim read the
attachment which you shared, and it appears to me to be
overloaded with enormous overhead.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I think that works for the fellowship programme, as
the introduction of travel funding does need layers of
record keeping, but if we are creating evergreen
materials to support mentorship without travel support
(I had been under the impression that travel funding for
this onboarding programme was only temporary, and would
not always be here), we do not need something so
over-engineered. At least not for the NCUC, where our
members are volunteers and their participation is not
compensated.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I think we have to keep in perspective the fact that
we are asking our most experienced volunteers, who are
already active in working groups and have lives outside
of ICANN, to mentor newcomers. Mentoring itself is not
too difficult — schedule a few calls over Skype, meet
face-to-face if you can. But if you load all of the
requirements in that Word document on to it (formal
reports etc),
<i>no one</i> experienced and engaged is going to
volunteer. I dare say the programme would be bound to
fail. Again, maybe it would work for other communities,
but it would not work for the NCUC.</div>
