[council] Fwd: [So-ac-sg-cleaders] ICANN Fellowship Program Community Consultation

Fri Feb 2 05:06:49 UTC 2018

Martin, Ayden,
I am sure sharing your experiences with the Council in an informational
email would be great as to give an idea of the insides (pros and cons) of
the fellowship to those (like the CPH) who might not have been involved in
the Fellowship program or the NextGen program. So, please do go ahead and
start an email thread, if you wish so.

As for a Council comment, i don't have any hard feelings about this but
would strongly agree with Heather on the need to focus on what we have on
our plate to cover and leave the SG/Cs to be heavily involved in putting
together their own comment/answers to the question. Also, we are far from
having the same understanding or the same view on these programs (even
inside SGs), so it will be very difficult for us to agree, as a Council, on
a joint statement.

Regards,
Arsene
