Fellowship and NextGen at ICANN Application Rounds Open for ICANN56

22 January 2016

lCANN launches the application rounds for both the NextGen at ICANN and
Fellowship Programs to participate in ICANN56 in Panama City, Panama in
June 2016. This round remains open until 19 February 2016 and successful
candidates will be announced on the ICANN website, 25 March 2016.

*An important distinction regarding this round of the Fellowship Program is
that only those who have previously participated in at least one ICANN
Fellowship can apply. This is due to the new ICANN Meeting Strategy
<https://meetings.icann.org/en/future-meeting-strategy> / Meeting B that is
specifically focused on policy making and ongoing work within ICANN
Communities, therefore only those Alumni of the Program who are currently
actively engaged in one of the ICANN Multistakeholder Model Communities are
eligible to participate.*
The Fellowship Program

The ICANN Fellowship
<https://www.icann.org/en/about/participate/fellowships> program seeks
participants from developing countries of the world in order to help create
a broader base of knowledgeable constituents to engage in the
Multistakeholder process and become the new voice of experience in their
regions and beyond. Since its creation in 2007, the Fellowship Program has
built a strong group of individuals who are actively participating in all
of the ICANN communities as well as various Internet Governance entities
within the Internet Ecosystem. Their engagement ranges from writing
articles and blogs, providing online or in-person public comment in regard
to bottom up policy building, engaging in Internet conferences and panel
discussions, lifting a pen in working groups, mentoring newcomers,
assisting our regional leaders and becoming leaders themselves.

The NextGen at ICANN Program

The NextGen at ICANN program remains the same for Meeting A, B and C: it is an
education and awareness based experience, designed for a smaller, younger,
and more region-specific group of participants. Applicants must be between
the ages of 18 and 30, live in the region of the meeting, and be engaged in
some level of higher education, with focus on Internet related subject
matter. Each selected member will deliver a 5-10 minute presentation on a
topic relevant to the community. Recent presentation topics include
Internet governance, DNS, and the future of the Internet.
