Re: [ga] ICANN's Fellowship Program

Well let us get on it and submit some applications from right here. Let us do 
it open and transparently. I say we just pick the last twenty posters, and fill 
out the applications right here on line. No, let us pick the last 100. I cannot 
see the harm.
 
If we do this and they still pick from who knows where, then the issue is 
resolved as one of a fraudulent representation to the stakeholders.

Hello Erick,

It doesn't matter for whom ICANN creates a fellowship program if fellowship
recipients thereafter fail to interact with the rest of the ICANN community and
wind up contributing nothing to the general dialogue.  

I see no value in spending money on those that don't contribute while other
recognized strong contributors on policy matters within the constituencies are
currently being denied travel funds.
