Dear All,
Please find below information about the trial fellowship
programme at ICANN. Be advised that the African region has a
very limited number of fellowships this time because prices are
so high for airline tickets especially. Given that ICANN has
rotating meetings, each region will get more participants from
its region as meetings come to that region. Please read the
information carefully and apply directly online.
Good luck.

ICANN Meeting Fellowships Trial
*About this Trial*
This is a trial of the ICANN fellowships programme.
Documentation and policies are being rolled out in a test format
for the San Juan ICANN meeting June 25-29, 2007. Following the
San Juan meeting ICANN will evaluate the programme and make
changes based on participant and community feedback. We are
excited about the opportunity this program presents for both
ICANN and the developing world and are looking forward its success.

*Overview *
*What is ICANN? *
**The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers
(ICANN) is responsible for the global coordination of the
Internet's system of unique identifiers. These include domain
names (like .org or .museum, and country codes like .UK), as
well as the addresses used in a variety of Internet protocols.
Computers use these identifiers to reach each other over the
Internet. Careful management of these resources is vital to the
Internet's operation. ICANN's global stakeholders meet regularly
to develop policies that ensure the Internet's ongoing security
and stability.
The domain name system (DNS) and Internet Protocol (IP)
addressing systems rely on global input and perspectives in
order to ensure they continue to function in a stable and secure
fashion. ICANN's fellowships program helps ensure that voices
from all regions of the world have the opportunity to provide
that input.
*What is an ICANN fellowship and who are the fellowships for? *
An ICANN fellowship is a one time grant of support to enable
attendance at an ICANN organised meeting. They are awarded to
enable individuals from stakeholder groups from around the world
to attend ICANN meetings. The fellowship covers the cost of
airfare, hotel and basic expenses. Recipients are expected to
actively contribute to ICANN processes and be a part of the next
generation of ICANN leadership.
ICANN Government advisory committee representatives and ccNSO
members from eligible countries will be prioritised but anyone
(apart from participants in the ICANN At-Large advisory
committee, which has its own programme) is welcome to apply.
*How are the fellowships awarded? *
Fellowships are awarded by a selection committee based on a mix
of criteria including applicant experience and references,
geographic proximity to meeting, receipt of past fellowships, etc.
Due to financial limitations ICANN may not be able to provide
fellowships for all applicants. In the case of a dispute or
similar applications final decisions will be made by the
fellowships committee
<http://www.icann.org/fellowships/fellowship-committee.htm>.
*Who may apply for and be awarded a fellowship? *
* Applications are targeted to individuals from government,
the ccTLD community, and non-profits not involved in or
associated with the at-large advisory committee.
* Preference will be given to citizens who are resident in a
low, lower-middle, or upper-middle income economy
according to the World Bank country groups classification
<http://web.worldbank.org/WBSITE/EXTERNAL/DATASTATISTICS/0,,contentMDK:20421402%7EpagePK:64133150%7EpiPK:64133175%7EtheSitePK:239419,00.html>.
* Successful applicants will have demonstrated:
o Ability to utilize the experiences gained from the
fellowship to become a part of the next generation
of ICANN leadership
o A role or interest in the Internet space
o An interest in contributing to:
+ ICANN policy development processes.
+ The ICANN fellowship alumni network.
+ A leadership role in stimulating local
interest in ICANN.
+ An ICANN supporting organization or advisory
committee.
*Overview of fellowship procedures *
The fellowship agreement with ICANN includes several clauses
that relate directly to travel and related expenses. Please note
that all ICANN supported air travel will be by economy class and
use the most direct and economical routing. See ICANN Fellowship
Terms and Conditions
<http://www.icann.org/fellowships/terms-and-conditions.htm>.
Per diem costs are covered via a lump sum stipend of US$ 300.00
for the entire period of the fellowship. The stipend will be
provided to each fellow upon his or her arrival at the meeting.
During the fellowship fellows are responsible for their own
personal health and safety. Fellows should consult travel and
health advisories in advance of the fellowship.
Following the completion of the fellowship, all fellows will be
invited to join a network of ICANN fellowship alumni. This
global network will provide instant connections with peers
worldwide who share a common interest in ICANN related issues.
Please note that consideration for future fellowships will
depend on active contribution to ICANN policy development
processes. Completion of post-fellowship reports and feedback
forms is a critical part of gauging the level of contribution
made by each fellow.
*Frequently Asked Questions *
*How will my travel be covered? ** *
Travel will be covered by ICANN directly. * *
*How will my hotel be covered? *
Hotels will be booked and covered by ICANN directly. All
additional hotel charges beyond the room are the responsibility
of the fellow.
*How will the stipend work? *
**All fellows receive a flat stipend of 300 US Dollars. The
stipends will be provided in the form of an AMEX check card or
travellers checks depending on the location of the meeting.
Stipends will be given to fellows at the fellow orientation
session on day one of the ICANN meeting. * *
*Do I need insurance? *
ICANN will provide access to travel insurance for the
fellowship. It is the fellow's responsibility to review the
policy and process any resulting claims.
*I would like to add personal or other business segments to my
travel. What do I do? *
This is not possible.
