The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has announced the opening of the fellowship programme for the Singapore public meeting, tagged ICANN 49.
ITRealms gathered that the fellowship programme has demonstrated success in its mission to build capacity in the ICANN multistakeholder environment through focused interactive engagement between newcomers to ICANN and community members at each of the ICANN meetings.
The programme also seeks to identify members of the Internet community who either have not previously been able to participate in ICANN processes or constituent organizations, or those who require further exposure to the Internet community and its work but cannot travel and attend a meeting without financial support.
This outreach programme seeks participants from developing regions and countries of the world, in order to help create a broader base of knowledgeable constituents who will become the new voice of experience in their regions and beyond.
Equally, ITRealms gathered that applications to become an ICANN Fellow are assessed for each meeting by an independent selection committee.
Priority, however, is given to applicants who: meet minimum programme requirements; are current residents of developing and least developed nations; and are interested in participating in the ICANN multistakeholder process and its supporting organizations, advisory committees or stakeholder groups.
Also efforts will be made to include participants from the region in which the ICANN meeting is being held.
