[NCSG-PC] ICANN Seeking Mentor for Global Indigenous Ambassador Program

Applications for mentors for the 'Global Indigenous Ambassador Program' have now closed, but when I clicked on the [link](https://goo.gl/forms/nJq425KPjPtBcofM2) to the application form just now (it is a Google form), it has advised that, "This form is no longer accepting responses, and has been set to automatically close by judithh12 at gmail.com." This is the email address of a community member.
Given that the [announcement](https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2-2017-08-01-en) on the ICANN website said that mentors must "follow all of the requirements for coaches as described in the ICANN Fellowship Program's handbook", and the listed [selection criteria](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1E1idwhPVdASTKz-Gz7zmb--xXsDoIzSdGqF4yE9WRQs/edit) states that the selected mentor must "Deliver a report ... [and] send it to ICANN Fellowship Coordinator", among other criterions which suggest ICANN staff involvement, I am wondering why a community member is receiving and presumably handling the applications and not ICANN staff. I am also wondering who will be involved in the selection of the mentor.
Do you think these are questions worth pursing?

Thanks, Ayden
