Subject: [gnso-osc-csg] Comments about fellowship program in relation with 
transparency

 


Hi,
as we are working now on outreach in our working group I would like to propose 
that we make this comment to the AOC transparency team as they are open now for 
questions and comments. The comments reflects what I mentioned today in our 
meeting with the transparency review team.
 
My proposal is submitting the following comments from the working team 
perspective. 

If you think this is a good idea and you want to change or add text, please do 
so.

Your comments are welcome.
Regards
Olga

About the Fellowship program:



Fellowship Selection Committee - Transparency:



For making the selection process more transparent, the names of the members

of the independent selection committee should be available in the ICANN web




 
page, including their background and statement of interest.

It could be good to know how they are selected, if there is a regular call

for applications, and how long they serve in their positions.



Fellow´s Selection Process:




 


The geographically weighted process sets aside  candidates of locations that

are geographically very far away from most of the main cities of the world,

like for example the southern cone of South America (Argentina, Chile,




 
Paraguay, Uruguay). Candidates from these countries have usually less

chances of being selected than others.

A different selection process should be developed in order to solve this

geographic gap.
