  Silvia Vivanco:You are very welcome Ali

  Satish Babu:In the 'Gender' row, Lianna is shown as male...this needs to be corrected...

  Ali AlMeshal:haha copy paste error

  Maureen Hilyard:Actually, I though we/ all the APRALO leaders would all take on a role - I agree Cheryl

  Yesim Nazlar:@Satish: now corrected :)

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):Thoise less experienced in Mentoring (or Coaching as the basics will be  can get helo from us who have more oractice/experience...

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):It can be a mix of general basics (some will have that already)  ands yes all need to be taylored to fit

  Siranush Vardanyan:I agree that all RALO leaders should be mentors, and the joint mentor-mentee sessions can be organized at the beginning, which will help us to identify more about mentees, and those joint sessions can be lead by our super mentor;)

  Satish Babu:Thanks @Yesim

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):Yes  Sira  some group, sime small group. and a good lot of one on one ;-)

  Siranush Vardanyan:yes, Cheryl, then joint sessions will be followed up by one to one meetings already

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):The intake or basics goup can be coached / supervised  by those of you feeling less secure in Mentoring per se,  this is really more of a coaching and support role, but sifts out tlent and commitment fairly fast

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):You should also consider rotstng some of the coaching roles between you  for some people  as well

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):Yes Holly rotation will help especially for those less clearly directed

  Siranush Vardanyan:+1

  Satish Babu:I agree.

  Maureen Hilyard:Could we have a mentor-mentee group meeting in Hyderabad where we do what Holly is mentioning.. agenda setting, etc

  Maureen Hilyard:Although we would have been through much of the introductory session with our mentees before then..

  Satish Babu:Not sure if mentees are all participating in Hyderabad...otherwise a call should be fine...

  Holly Raiche:2

  Siranush Vardanyan:I am not sure if all mentees will be in Hyderabad in person

  Holly Raiche:satish - those who aren't there can join by adobe

  Siranush Vardanyan:yes, can be a meeting supported by Adobe for others to join

  Holly Raiche:We also have the apralo webinars that we can use

  Silvia Vivanco:@ Ali, what  would be the lenght of the mentorship program?

  Holly Raiche:2

  Ali AlMeshal:@ Slivia , until march 17

  Holly Raiche:silvia and all - I would think at least 6 months - to include at least one if not two ICANN meetings

  Silvia Vivanco:Thanks Ali and Holly

  Holly Raiche:@ Ali - good - thank includes the first 2017 meetng as well

  Siranush Vardanyan:Silvia, it is 9 months program with actual prep work already started now, then actual work with mentees staring in Hyderabad and the with evaluation part after kopenhagen meeting to be finalized by Johannesburg meeting ac

  Holly Raiche:I thinkhaving a couple of group meetings we can see you works with whom

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):Yup

  Silvia Vivanco:Thanks for that information Siranush

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):We also need to establishe what they have done,   E.G.  we can get a good idea from fellowship exerience, but others may have also done some of the online learning  ICANN offers

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):OR  have outside of ICANN exoereices and skill sets

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO): We can ask a few more probing questions to tease thiese things out Satish  any one I have menotred jnows that is my prefered way of establishing expectations and prediuction of desired outcomes

  Holly Raiche:We need to set aside time in Hyderabod for us to follow up what we decide on his and later calls

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):Sorry about my typos

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):Yes Holly even if it means some remote participation

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):There is sime himework we can set the mentees to helo with that Maureen

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):That facilitation of smoothing issues rile is one I am haooy to assist with

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):Argh Typing !

  Maureen Hilyard:Tahnk you Cheryl.. we really need your assistance with that setting up stage

  Silvia Vivanco:@ Ali, and what happens after the mentorship program ends? How do you ensure that mentees actually remain engaged and most importantly take up some leadership /proactive role?

  Holly Raiche:@ Silvia - I think our immediate role is to retain - it is to educate,to involve.  In the end, though, it isup to the mentees what they do.  At this stage, however, without support, it is far more likely we will lose them

  Silvia Vivanco:@ Hollly, right that is my concern, that the mentorship program is supposed to achieve the goal to bring active people to APRALO, and hopefully they will take up some proactive /leadership role

  Silvia Vivanco:thanks for your feedback Holly and Cheryl

  Maureen Hilyard:And also some more listing of skills, interest areas... as Cheryl is stating...

  Maureen Hilyard:about the mentors

  Holly Raiche:Agree with Cheryl

  Satish Babu:+1 Cheryl on the minimum information requirements...

  Holly Raiche:I think we have already started the program - doing the ground work, getting names, etc.

  Maureen Hilyard:I agree Cheryl about matching just yet.. get more info on mentees and mentors first

  Holly Raiche:Agree - I think there may be two general groups - those who really know ICANN, and those who need the ICANN 101 course

  Satish Babu:There are some 101 courses at ICANN Learrn, as well as ISOC's online course...

  Holly Raiche:@ Satish - thanks - all ofthat wil be really helpful

  Silvia Vivanco:@ Satish correct, those 101 courses are a great resource

  Maureen Hilyard:Yes Cheryl.. I was going to ask about that too.. soemthing that we can use as an ideas board for us only to get us going
