[NCSG-PC] Fwd: [NextGen-Alumni] Call for NextGen Mentors!

Thu Sep 1 18:48:51 EEST 2022

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.

Cheers Stephanie
