[DCAD] Announcing IGF-DCAD 2025 Mentor

[mshabbirawan at gmail.com]

Dear Hamza,

 

Thank you for reaching out. 

 

1.	Announcement of Mentor: The recent announcement was about the selection of Gunela Astbrink as the Mentor for the IGF-DCAD 2025 Fellowship Program. This role involves guiding fellows, supporting their IGF participation, and serving on the Fellowship Selection Committee.

 

2.	Fellowship Applications: The call for fellowship applications has not yet been announced. We will share details about the application process soon. My message encouraging members to "stay tuned" was to indicate that the announcement will follow in due course.

 

3.	Request for Contact Information: Nina Love’s request for Gunela Astbrink’s WhatsApp number is unrelated to the fellowship call, nor we provide personal contact information to anyone without permission. As Gunela is already on this mailing list, she can respond directly if she wishes.

 

I hope this clarifies. 

 

Best regards,

Dr. Muhammad Shabbir

Coordinator, 

IGF-DCAD

Dear Dr. Muhammad,

 

The messages are confusing to me. As you just announced the mentor, somebody is asking for another mentor's whatsapp number differently

, while you mentioned that we stay tuned for the the calls.

There most be a communication gap in your activities.

 

Please I need a clarification on this. I dont know for other members.

 

Thanks

Dear DCAD Members,

 

In response to our call, we received several excellent applications for the IGF-DCAD 2025 Fellowship Mentor role and sincerely appreciate the interest and dedication of all applicants.

 

After careful review, I am pleased to announce that Gunela Astbrink has been selected as the Mentor for the IGF-DCAD 2025 Fellowship Program. Gunela’s extensive experience in Internet governance, digital accessibility, and disability advocacy, along with her successful mentoring of fellows in IGF2023, makes her an excellent choice for this role.

 

As Mentor, she will guide fellows, support their IGF participation, monitor progress, and serve on the Fellowship Selection Committee.

 

Please join me in congratulating Gunela!

 

Stay tuned for fellowship applications and IGF call for proposals. 

 

Best regards,

Dr. Muhammad Shabbir

Coordinator, 

IGF-DCAD
