[Npoc-discuss] Introducing the ICANN for Beginners Virtual Program

[Caleb Olumuyiwa Ogundele]

Dear Members,

Today, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN)
announces a new initiative to introduce newcomers to ICANN and to the
important role it plays in the Internet ecosystem.

The ICANN for Beginners Virtual Program comprises a series of interactive
webinars held via Zoom and will provide participants an overview of the
global Internet ecosystem. The program will also guide newcomers on how
they can join the global community and help shape Internet governance.

Tailored to those new to ICANN and held fully virtually, each of the
one-hour webinars will focus on a specific topic of interest. The webinars
will be moderated by experienced ICANN staff members with the goal to
strengthen the knowledge about and foster participation at ICANN. The
newcomers will come away with a better understanding of how the Internet
works and the importance of keeping the Internet open, free, and safe for
all.

Participation in the program's webinars will complement ICANN's other
newcomer programs, such as the Fellowship Program and NextGen at ICANN Program.
How to participate:

Participating is easy, free, and open to all. No prior technical or
Internet governance experience is necessary. The first webinar "ICANN for
Beginners: An Introduction" will be held during two-time slots (you only
need to register for one of the webinars):
