    <p>Did we define what we mean by "active member"?  I take it to mean
      active on pdps.  Perhaps I am wrong.  Nextgen mentors need to
      understand ICANN org and its constituent parts, policies, and
      procedures.  I am not a graduate of the nextgen program so perhaps
      those who graduate from that program know all they need to know,
