 Hi all. Here the message Janice from Fellowship gave to me. (  already said so)
 Guess we can debate some ideas to suggest to her  to allow countries like 
Argentina, Chile and Venezuela be part of this . letâs work on this with the 
rhelp of citizens of such contries.

Of course â you can reach out to me any time and all the time Vanda.
I have been waiting for support from the ICANN Communications team to craft a 
Community Message but that just hasnât happened, I guess due to work ongoing 
with Accountability and other hot issues..so here is the message from me and 
yes, please share.

Since Fellowshipâs inception in 2007, the Program eligibility requirements 
include adherence to a globally recognised economic indicatorâin our case, the 
decision was the World Economic Bank, specifically for eligible countries 
listed in the World Bank 
classification<http://web.worldbank.org/WBSITE/EXTERNAL/DATASTATISTICS/0,,contentMDK:20421402~pagePK:64133150~piPK:64133175~theSitePK:239419,00.html>
 as low, lower-middle, and upper-middle economies.  Additionally in 2011, ICANN 
added those nations listed in one of the three (3) UN groupings of developing 
and least developed nations: the AIMS, Pacific and Caribbean which are all 
Members of SIDN and eligible for consideration in the Program. The UN Listing 
of SIDN<https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/index.php?menu=1520> is based on 
distinctly different criteria that stretch beyond the World Bank's economically 
deterministic view.

ICANN cannot be the entity to determine which countries can be on or off the 
list; that just canât work, we have to have verified outside entities to do 
that for us.

ICANN will continue to evaluate the Program criteria on a regular basis as it 
has in the 8 years since it began, including eligibility and the lists used to 
determine that.

Would be great to hear any ideas that you have Vandaâ

Thanks so much for reaching out and biggest Hug
me
