for Cartagena Meeting Fellowships]

*Application Round Opens for Cartagena Meeting Fellowships*

Program ensures global representation at ICANN’s International Public Meetings

22 July 2010

*MARINA DEL REY, Calif.*: The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and 
Numbers has launched the 11th round of the Fellowship program applications for 
its 39th International Public Meeting to be held Cartagena, Columbia on 5-10 
December 2010.

Over the last 10 meetings, the Fellowship program has proven to be a successful 
method of capacity building for the ICANN community, making sure global voices 
are heard in the wide variety of public forums that it holds. As CEO Rod 
Beckstrom said when addressing the Russian Internet Governance Forum in Moscow 
last May, /“The Internet is a work in progress. It feeds and grows off ideas, 
and new ideas greatly affect its direction. Its most influential contributors 
are those who can see the possibilities that others don’t. And the most powerful 
are those whose ideas trigger the imagination of others.”/ We see the Fellowship 
program playing a major role in bringing those great ideas and idea makers into 
the Internet community.

Priority in selection is given to applicants who are current residents of 
developing and least developed nations and interested in participating in ICANN 
and its supporting organizations, such as the Governmental Advisory Committee, 
the Country Code Names Supporting Organization, the At-Large and the Generic 
Names Supporting Organization. The Fellowship program will assist in covering 
airfare, hotel and a stipend. Recipients will be expected to actively 
participate in and contribute to ICANN processes. As always, registration for 
ICANN’s meetings is free for anyone wanting to attend.

*Applications for the meeting in Cartagena will be accepted from now until 1200 
PDT (UTC -7) on 1 September 2010. More information, as well as a link to the 
application for a fellowship, is available online at: 
https://forms.icann.org/fellowship/applications/icann39/ or email at 
fellowships at icann.org <mailto:fellowships at icann.org>*

*What Is ICANN?*

To reach another person on the Internet you have to type an address into your 
computer - a name or a number. That address has to be unique so computers know 
where to find each other. ICANN coordinates these unique identifiers across the 
world. Without that coordination we wouldn't have one global Internet.

ICANN was formed in 1998. It is a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation with 
participants from all over the world dedicated to keeping the Internet secure, 
stable and interoperable. It promotes competition and develops policy on the 
Internet’s unique identifiers.

ICANN doesn’t control content on the Internet. It cannot stop spam and it 
doesn’t deal with access to the Internet. But through its coordination role of 
the Internet’s naming system, it does have an important impact on the expansion 
and evolution of the Internet.
