    <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span>Since

        mentor for the ICANN Fellowship Program.</span></p>
    <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span>In

        In addition, as a Standing Committee, the Council may call on
        the SSC at any
        time to identify replacement candidates for those who step down
        from appointed
