      <div>Thanks for sharing your views here, Arsène and Nadira. I am
        really glad we are having this discussion again, and hope that
        the EC will involve us in its discussions in the New Year over
        what level of involvement or organisational support we would
        like to receive. I just wanted to clarify, however, that this
        programme is separate to the pilot community onboarding
        programme, as I think the two are being conflated. The pilot
        community onboarding programme is working to provide new
        volunteer talent with a faster entrance into the ICANN
        community, and is being developed internally. This programme,
        administered externally by WBC Global, is intended to support
        our involvement in ICANN’s various policy development processes.
        What works for other constituencies and stakeholder groups may
        not work for us, but my understanding is that others are using
        this support now to aid in their policy work. Of course it would
        be unwise to think of this offer of assistance from ICANN as
        help without strings attached — we should think carefully about
        what support we are happy to accept, and how we can ensure we do
        not become inappropriately dependent upon it. But we do need
        additional support, and if we continue to decline the assistance
        of paid external consultants while others, already with more
        resources then us accept it, we may only exacerbate our
        disadvantages.<br>

                                      <div>I am glad
                                        to hear that the EC will
                                        re-evaluate whether or not we
                                        choose to participate in
                                        this pilot programme. At my
                                        second ICANN meeting in
                                        Marrakech, I remember listening
                                        to Kathy Kleiman brilliantly
                                        communicate to the Board that we
                                        needed to build our capacity to
                                        absorb an increased, growing,
                                        and specialised workload. When
                                        this pilot
                                        programme was announced, it felt
                                        to me like our calls had been
                                        heard and resources
                                        were being offered to boost our
                                        participation in ICANN
                                        activities. Now it seems
                                        like other, already-better
                                        resourced constituencies and
                                        stakeholder groups are
                                        benefiting from this
                                        programme while we turned it
                                        down… do forgive me if I am
                                        oversimplifying things… I just
                                        think a better path forward
                                        would be if participated in the
                                        pilot
                                        programme and set our own
                                        parametres around
                                        what support we would
                                        accept and what support we would
                                        find unsuitable. <br>
