2010.<BR><BR>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.<BR><BR>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.<BR><BR>*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: <A href="https://forms.icann.org/fellowship/applications/icann39/" target=_blank>https://forms.icann.org/fellowship/applications/icann39/</A> or email at <A href="mailto:fellowships@icann.org" ymailto="mailto:fellowships@icann.org">fellowships@icann.org</A> <mailto:<A href="mailto:fellowships@icann.org"
ymailto="mailto:fellowships@icann.org">fellowships@icann.org</A>>*<BR><BR>*What Is ICANN?*<BR><BR>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.<BR><BR>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.<BR><BR>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.<BR><BR><BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>kictanet mailing list<BR><A href="mailto:kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke" ymailto="mailto:kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke">kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke</A><BR><A href="http://lists.kictanet.or.ke/mailman/listinfo/kictanet" target=_blank>http://lists.kictanet.or.ke/mailman/listinfo/kictanet</A><BR><BR>This message was sent to: <A href="mailto:wamuyulearn@yahoo.co.uk" ymailto="mailto:wamuyulearn@yahoo.co.uk">wamuyulearn@yahoo.co.uk</A><BR>Unsubscribe or change your options at <A href="http://lists.kictanet.or.ke/mailman/options/kictanet/wamuyulearn%40yahoo.co.uk" target=_blank>http://lists.kictanet.or.ke/mailman/options/kictanet/wamuyulearn%40yahoo.co.uk</A><BR></DIV></DIV></div><br>
