<span style="color:black">The most important aspect of the program for NextGen is the opportunity to improve their knowledge and careers. The main role of a NextGen mentor is to support their NextGen mentees and help them learn about the NextGen@ICANN Program
and ICANN in general, keeping in mind their interests, backgrounds, prior knowledge, and experiences. The goal is to prepare each NextGen to engage in an ICANN meeting, even if at most basic level, and to create a team bond and support system</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black">.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

the 6-week preparation period in advance of the meeting and about two hours per day providing on-site support at the ICANN meeting. Mentors will typically serve for one year, or three meetings.
