    <p>Thanks for responding Bolutife! In the light of what Bruna was
      saying in terms of who was fielding the nominations (i.e.not at
      GNSO level) I think it is a reasonable question to shoot backto
      the Org.  Is this person meant to be sort of a student mentee (for
      which you appear to be very well qualified) or is it more of a
      traditional mentor role....someone who has experience in the
      actual work that is done in committees, for instance?  I think a
      bit of clarification would be great.</p>
    <p>Cheers Stephanie<br>

        <div dir="ltr">Hello all,<br>
          <br>
          @Stephanie Thanks for chiming in on the topic and sharing your
          valid concerns. 
          <div><br>
          </div>
          <div>In this case, I believe you have rightly defined what
            active membership is or should be “… need to understand
            ICANN org and its constituent parts, policies, and
            procedures”. </div>
          <div>Having participated in multiple ICANN meetings as a
            NextGen participant, and ICANN fellow and an EC member in
            NPOC, it is clear that I understand ICANN org’s structure,
            procedures, and policies and I’m capable of passing on the
            knowledge to newcomers. </div>
          <div><br>
          </div>
          <div>While I might not have the wealth of experience that
            other colleagues may have in pen-holding for policy
            development process, I am aware that the role in question is
            not a policy development role but a mentorship/support role
            for newcomers in the space (otherwise I would have easily
            stepped aside for more policy-experienced colleagues to step
            in). However, I consider myself qualified for this role
            based on the outlined criteria. </div>
          <div><br>
          </div>
          <div>Being a former NextGen participant as well as ICANN
            fellow is only just an added advantage, as it indicates
            prior understanding of the program and its structure, having
            been through it myself. </div>
          <div><br>
          </div>
          <div>I would be glad to provide response to any further
            questions or clarifications needed. </div>
