Great idea Joas . ICANNSHPHERE is a maze to many especially new comers. A great initiative ! This would prepare prospective fellows to get on their feet quicker and decide which community they fit in or otherwise.<div><br></div><div>Regards </div><div><br></div><div>Sal<br><br>On Thursday, December 11, 2014, João Carlos Rebello Caribé <<a href="mailto:caribe@entropia.blog.br">caribe@entropia.blog.br</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">We are working on it here at Brazil Bill.<br>

Two days ago Daniel Fink (ICANN Manager Stakeholder Engagement) organized one webinar about the Fellowship program with us, five Brazilian ex-fellows with around 35 very interested attenders.<br>
<br>
On the row I suggested to Daniel for next steps to organize a series of short webinars, with no more than 15 minutes each one, as one short version of newcomers day, with local presenters.<br>
<br>
Also I see with good eyes the creation of one kind of "application mentors group" to help the applicants, I had this kind of support from Magaly Pazello when I first applied for Fellowship, and was very useful. It's important for candidate know a little about ICANN's structure and function, as the same way like applying for a job when we study the employer in order to understand their structure, principles values, etc...<br>
<br>
That's my $ 0,02<br>
