The Fellowship program seeks to create a broader and more regionally diverse base of knowledgeable constituents by reaching out to the less developed regions of the world to build capacity within the ICANN Multistakeholder Model. The Fellowship Program provides a grant of support to individuals who are members of the Internet community and have not previously been able to participate in ICANN processes and constituent organizations. In some cases, continued limited support is provided to those who have previously participated but need the opportunity to implement an agenda pertinent to a particular meeting (and still meet program criteria). This is a means tested program.
ELIGIBILITY
- The programme is targeted mainly at individuals who are either new to the ICANN environment or have yet to attend a face to face meeting. Their backgrounds are diverse: government, the ccTLD community, academic, civil and business sectors as well as non-profits. These individuals must NOT be involved in or associated with other ICANN supported travel programmes at time of selection.
- Applicants must be citizens of a low, lower-middle, or upper-middle income economy according to the economic classifications listed above.
- Ability to utilize the experiences gained from the fellowship to become a part of the next generation of ICANN leadership.
- DEADLINE: 15th May, 2014
