Re: [council] Preliminary planning for ICANN58


Hi James,

I don’t think this is exactly what you’re looking for, but last year, ICANN’s 
Development and Public Responsibility Department conducted a survey among 
Fellowship Program alumni, which I thought had some interesting findings, 
particularly on why Fellows may find it difficult to keep up in participation: 
https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/fellowship-alumni-survey-results-28may15-en.pdf.

I hope you find it helpful.

Thanks.

Amr
