[ICANN Academy WG] RESULTS of the ICANN Academy Single Purpose Call: "Intercultural Awareness Program Candidates Evaluation"

Wed Sep 20 22:51:34 UTC 2017

Hi Sandra,

- Marilyn, thanks for these observations.

I too would like to see such documents. I don't think I have read the
arguments as to the limiting number of 5. How does the decisionmaking
process work for this group?

I agree that two from each region is a minimum.

I signed up hoping to be able to contribute but I am entirely fine with not
doing so and excited that many from the regions are signed up. However,
especially in a trial phase I think it would be urgent to make sure that
all stakeholder groups and regions are included.

As such I have no problem that there are two reps from Africa, but if it
means zero for LAC then clearly this is not ok.

Tina
