My participation in the Programme WG consist on keeping constant communication before every ICANN meeting with the members of the WG, the ccNSO Secretariat, the ccNSO Chair and the ICANN Schedule Planning team, striving to coordinate efforts in building the best schedule possible for the ccNSO community. I'm also responsible for keeping the ccNSO Google Calendar updated. During the meeting I keep track of the flow of the meeting and take notes on what can be improved for the next meeting. As for my role in the council I keep in touch with my regional colleagues to keep them updated and to listen their points of view and represent them accordingly in the council activities. Additionally I'm part of the ICANN Onboarding Program as a Community Mentor, coaching the current ccNSO participants and overseeing the creation of materials/documents that introduces someone to the ccNSO community (i.e. "Quick Guide to the ccNSO", "ccNSO ICANN Learn course", among others). The members of this Program meet face-to-face at every ICANN meeting to exchange experiences and the progress of their work. Parallel to this program, I?ve been mentoring participants from the fellowship program who have as main interest the activities of the ccNSO. On another note I tweet the ccNSO sessions during the ICANN meetings to help spread the work and activities of the ccNSO community. In .gt we wish to maintain the continuity of our participation in the activities of the ccNSO and stay updated with the global events. However we don't have funds in our budget to pay for travel expenses to attend all of these events.
