> *GOALS *
>
>    - Cultivate a pool of knowledgeable volunteers adequately prepared to
>    participate in substantive policy activities at ICANN.
>    - Connect ICANN community groups with individual members seeking to
>    contribute to policy matters.
>    - Foster community, relationship-building, and value in volunteerism
>    through connections with veteran community members.
>

> *APPROACH*

>
> *Deep dive into a current policy issue – the specific policy topic of the
> pilot is forthcoming*
>
>    - Participants will receive focused primer materials including
>    background summaries, webinar and session recordings, and relevant
>    resources that offer differing points of view. The goal is to provide
>    program participants a well-rounded set of materials on the policy topic.
>    - Participants are expected to study these materials and participate
>    in session activities, facilitated by Policy staff, to further their
>    understanding of the policy topic.
>    - Participants will use a dedicated mailing list to ask substantive
>    questions and engage in targeted discussions.
>    - Program participants will engage in interactive discussion sessions
>    with subject matter experts (SMEs) and/or active community members.
>    - We anticipate finalizing the policy topic by 1 August 2022.
>
>
>
> *Community building*
>
>    - Targeted Fellowship alumni will act as guest speakers, sharing their
>    experiences within ICANN policy development and the personal value they
>    derive from participation.
>
>
>
> *Support connections between newcomers and existing community *
>
>    -  Program sessions have four distinct goals:
>
>
>    - Provide a forum for interactive policy topic discussions with SMEs.
>       - Support participation in a guest speaker series targeted at
>       substantive policy engagement and the value of volunteerism.
>       - Foster connections between participants.
>       - Provide a forum for existing community members to engage with
>       newcomers.
>
>
>    - All sessions will be conducted via Zoom as this program does not
>    have travel funding.

> *MEMBERSHIP *
>
> For the pilot, participation will be limited to Fellowship alumni who are
> either currently affiliated with non-commercial groups within the GNSO, or
> those who are currently unaffiliated, and wish explore opportunities for
> contribution within GNSO non-commercial groups.
>
> If you are interested in participating or learning more, please email me
> at Melissa.allgood at icann.org by 15 August 2022.

> We look forward to working with you!
