[NCSG-PC] Input Required - Fellowship Program Mentor and Selection Committee Member

Thu Jan 7 09:52:33 EET 2021

Hi all,
Am not sure how it’s different from what SSC is doing now as the link to
the announcement of 16 November that Tomslin provided us identical to what
SSC page provides to explain what they are selecting now.
If you want to clarify with staff, I would of course go ahead but I don’t
quite understand where the confusion is coming from and what “the call is
open” means. The selection deadline for AC/SO is 31 of January, not the
application deadline. This is why SSC is dealing with this now because the
selection has to be confirmed by the GNSO.
Or are you talking about any other deadline?
Warm regards
Tatiana
