The Fellowship Program

The ICANN Fellowship
<https://www.icann.org/en/about/participate/fellowships> program seeks
participants from developing countries of the world in order to help create
a broader base of knowledgeable constituents to engage in the
Multistakeholder process and become the new voice of experience in their
regions and beyond. Since its creation in 2007, the Fellowship Program has
built a strong group of individuals who are actively participating in all
of theICANN communities as well as various Internet Governance entities
within the Internet Ecosystem. Their engagement ranges from writing
articles and blogs, providing online or in-person public comment in regard
to bottom up policy building, engaging in Internet conferences and panel
discussions, lifting a pen in working groups, mentoring newcomers,
assisting our regional leaders and becoming leaders themselves.

The NextGen Program

The NextGen at ICANN program is education and awareness based experience,
designed for a smaller, younger, and more region-specific group of
participants. Applicants must be between the ages of 18 and 30, live in the
region of the meeting, and be engaged in some level of higher education.
Each selected member will deliver a 5-10 minute presentation on a topic
relevant to the community. Recent presentation topics include Internet
governance, DNS, and the future of the Internet.
