ICANN opened the Fellowship program application round for individuals interested in attending ICANN61. The Public Meeting takes place from 10th to 15th March 2018 in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The deadline to apply is 15th September 2017. Successful candidates will be announced on 1st of December 2017 on https://icann.org/.
The program seeks out individuals who are interested in, or already engaged in the various aspects of ICANN’s work in policymaking, the operation of the Domain Name System, and the security and stability of the global Internet. The goal of the program is to help create a more diverse and a broader base of knowledgeable constituents who can engage in the ICANN multi-stakeholder process and become the new voices of experience in their regions and on the global stage.
Since its creation in 2007, the Fellowship Program has built a strong group of individuals who are actively participating in ICANN communities and in other Internet Governance entities within the Internet ecosystem.
