    <p>Hi, everyone,</p>
    <p>Just to try to contribute to the discussion, but without the
      intention to exhaust it.<br>
      <br>
      And let me begin saying that I think I partially agree with the
      points raised by Laurie. From my perspective there is, at least,
      two issues that this discussion highlights, on is the difficulty
      of organizations in performing a generational transition,
      expressed here in the idea of 'preparing future leadership', and,
      the other one, is the about the access to participate in the
      internet governance meetings and forums.<br>
      <br>
      Regarding the first issue, I think that Alejandro made a good
      synthesis "a call based only on grounds of merit and experience
      has a strong incentive to end up selecting largely the same set of
      people again and again, in a self-reinfocing feedback cycle",  but
      the the challenge is to promote this expansion, enabling the
      generational transition - at the same time broadens the audience
      that discusses Internet governance - without restraining the
      participation of those who are already involved. Like Laurie put
      it, new experiences can come from all ages, the same way that a
      younger learns about the internet governance in this meetings, and
      other realities with the not-younger ones; the not-younger ones
      learn with the younger.<br>
      <br>
      If I understand correctly, by those who preceded me, I think that
      there is no divergence on this point. <br>
    </p>
    <p>The problem, in my understanding, is the second issue: the
      difficulty to participate in meetings, not just for young ones, or
      from the global south, but for many people. To deal with this
      problem there is no need to withdrawal of an alternative that aims
      the same question and, with it, the formation of new leadership.<br>
    </p>
    <p>And I thought that Ambassador Programme already consider this by
      offering a selection process for youngers - "First-time
      Ambassador" - and for all ages - "Returning Ambassador".
      Apparently I was wrong. <br>

      <div>
        <div>This is a topic I’ve been ruminating on for a while. And as
          a disclaimer in case its needed, I’m under 40 and for another
          week at least under 30 years old.</div>
        <div>I think we have a serious issue with capacity in the IG
          space and Im not sure if our efforts are actually making a
          huge difference.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>Many of the fellowship and outreach programs are focussed
          on getting people in the door and to meetings physically,
          almost to the exclusion of all other criteria, and as such
          have been focussed on youth, developing nations etc, this is
          obviously a noble goal, and one that we do need to keep a
          focus on, many people claim its the cornerstone of the
          legitimacy of the multistakeholder and IG model, and I don’t
          necessarily disagree. But we have a huge gap, once people have
          stepped over the threshold…. Not much happens and we lose
          those people that could have become productive members of the
          community.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>I think we need to take a serious look at our ability to
          engage and manage people who want to get into the nitty gritty
          details, because we are so incredibly understaffed in that
          area that its a serious concern of mine. And that means
          opening our support systems to anyone who can demonstrate
          knowledge, ability and willingness to perform as a volunteer.
          Wether these end up as two separate streams of engagement
          across the various I* organisations is for others to
          determine, but I do think that we need to realise and accept
          that we have a capacity problem that we are not fixing despite
          our efforts, and we should take a hard hard look at excluding
          potential applicants who can be converted into the people on
          the front lines, building policy, ensuring our agenda is heard
          and doing the work. If we exclude these people based on
          arbitrary criteria then we are doing ourselves a disservice I
          think. If someone is willing to get involved and do the work I
          don’t think we should care if they are 18 or 80, from the US
          or from Uzbekistan, I feel that we almost don’t have that
          luxury yet, or if we feel we do, then we need a parallel
          program for those willing to do the heavy lifting.</div>

                                                      at least have been
                                                      fulfilled
                                                      successfully.<br>
                                                      <br>
                                                    </div>
                                                    The premise is that
                                                    a call based only on
                                                    grounds of merit and
                                                    experience has a
                                                    strong incentive to
                                                    end up selecting
                                                    largely the same set
                                                    of people again and
                                                    again, in a
                                                    self-reinfocing
                                                    feedback cycle. (who
                                                    has more experience
                                                    and more extensive
                                                    networks than those
                                                    who have attended
                                                    most meetings?<br>
                                                    <br>

                                                  Fresh insights and new

                                                  <br>
                                                </div>
                                                The policy of selecting
                                                under-40's has been very
                                                successful at least in
                                                our chapter. The members
                                                who have attended
                                                workshops, IGFs, IETF,
                                                and ICANN meetings have
                                                not only acquired
                                                knowledge and experience
                                                but also networks of
                                                their own, with a
                                                younger generation as
                                                well as with the old,
                                                with grassroots as well
                                                as with staff. Bringing
                                                in insights about
                                                today's Internet and
                                                looking into its future,
                                                strongly committed,
                                                highly motivated.. just
                                                what we were 15 or 20
                                                years ago!!<br>
                                                <br>
                                              </div>
                                              Now thanks to the policy
                                              we have a small group, in
                                              our case three layers
                                              deep, of people who can
                                              and *will* take the reins
                                              of the Chapter in the near
                                              future. So ISOC's
                                              pro-under-40 policy is
                                              actually helping our
                                              succession planning -
                                              isnt' that a major
                                              responsibility we have in
                                              chapters? - for free! <br>
                                              <br>
                                            </div>
                                            Do we have a problem left to
                                            deal with in funding
                                            participation for the most
                                            experienced members? yes, no
                                            doubt. Olga, you are now a
                                            Trustee, it's upon you (you
                                            have the power to change the
