The Internet Corporation for
Assigned Names and Numbers' (ICANN) Fellowship programme has commenced seeking
of participants’ application for the ICANN 53 to be held in Buenos Aires,
Argentina, reports ITRealms.
Potential applicants from developing
countries, ITRealms reports, working
for the stability and secure operation of the Internet's unique identifier
system were encouraged to apply.
ITRealms
also gathered that the goals of the fellowship programme are to help broaden
the base of knowledgeable constituents engaged in ICANN's Multistakeholder
process and to encourage the participation of new voices from around the world.
In addition, ITRealms reports that ICANN's current
application round seeks prospective candidates for the June 2015 ICANN Meeting
in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The application process, ITRealms learnt, closes on 16 January
2015, with successful candidates announced on the ICANN website on 6 March 2015.
ITRealms
recalls that since its creation in 2007, the Fellowship Program has built a strong
database of individuals who are active participants within ICANN communities,
as well as within various Internet governance organizations.
Their engagement ITRealms findings showed would include
writing articles and blogs, providing online or in-person public comments about
bottom-up policy development, engaging in Internet conferences and discussions,
mentoring newcomers and assisting ICANN's regional leaders.
ITRealms
equally gathered these activities lead to Fellows becoming leaders themselves,
who are committed to preserving and enhancing the operational stability,
reliability, security, and global interoperability of the Internet.
