Fellowship program could benefit from our help
Hi everyone, it was great to see many of you in person at ICANN60. I am following up on my session suggestion - is it within our scope to work together with Fellowship program? If yes, I think some of the following might be of help: - secure personal data handling and storage - adding encryption possibility (generate key, encrypt if requested) - alternative means of communication that would be inclusive towards FOSS people joining the force: a bit about FB/Google/Whatsapp downsides and alternatives, perhaps trying out new things together - mailing list for new Fellows, why it is a better alternative to having a list of emails and how to manage a list I believe positive constructive outreach will be useful. o/ What do you think?

Hi Jason, it was a short suggestion, the context is in the email. Listed items could be of help, unless tools used in Fellowship are under staff jurisdiction? BR, thomas On 07.11.2017 18:38, Jason Hynds wrote:

Dear Thomas, Thank you for your suggestion. Type of communications between fellows is more informal and we don't need to have a history of them; this is the reason the program is relying on tools like Facebook and WhatsApp that many people are already using it and are familiar enough with. We also need to keep in mind that many fellows in each round are newcomers that don't know enough about the communication mechanisms within the ICANN; so it would be hard to make them use some alternatives. Both new fellows and alumni have separate mailing lists and this is the formal channel for the fellows and staff to communicate. *Mahdi Taghizadeh* *http://mahdi.ws <http://mahdi.ws>* On Tue, Nov 7, 2017 at 2:00 AM, thomascovenant <ttf@thomascovenant.org> wrote:

Hi Mahdi, I fully agree that communication between fellows should be easy and, if possible, already familiar to them. The platform choice comes from the program itself. May I also point out that official communication channel shouldn't be censored in fellow's home country? Alternatives are good to have, as backup to start with. This round new fellows didn't have a mailing list: first there was a list of emails, then BCC. I would say that at this point Program is in dire need of technological update.
