[Npoc-discuss] Announcing the Inaugural At-Large Tribal Ambassador Fellowship to the ICANN 57 Meeting in India

[Poncelet Ileleji]

FYI

The At-Large Tribal Ambassadors Project addresses the digital divide
throughout indigenous communities and specifically aims to generate
increased awareness and understanding of Internet governance development
within un-served and under-served Tribal communities.  The Tribal
Ambassadors, in representing indigenous groups in the US and Canada, will
be assigned a Coach with a goal to gain overall ICANN experience and
understanding of the Internet multi-stakeholder community.  Additional
details and requirements are available on the At-Large Tribal
Ambassadorship Workspace (see: https://community.icann.org/x/vw6bAw ).

The Fellowship covers travel, hotel, transportation costs, and a stipend to
Hyderabad, India for the duration of the ICANN meeting for two Tribal
Ambassadors from November 3-9, 2016. Applicants will need a passport and
Visa for travel. Visa fees will be covered by the Tribal Ambassadorship
Fellowship as part of the travel support.

August 14, 2016. *
About the Project

The At-Large Tribal Ambassadors Project is a complement to the current ICANN
Fellowship program <http://bit.ly/2avhLDF> that has a goal to create a
broader and more regionally diverse base of knowledgeable constituents to
build capacity within the ICANN Multi-stakeholder Model. Participation in
the program at an ICANN Meeting is a "fast track" experience of engagement
into that community model, with presentations designed to facilitate
understanding of the many pieces and parts of ICANN while providing
opportunities to network and promoting interaction with staff and community
leaders.
Who may apply for and be awarded a Tribal Ambassadors Project fellowship?

The Project is targeted at individuals who identify with, or are part of an
indigenous group in the US and Canada. These people are either new to the
ICANN environment, are familiar with ICANN but have yet to attend a
face-to-face meeting, or have started participating in ICANN by other means
but are in need of travel funding in order to broaden their knowledge and
deepen their engagement. Priority will be given to constituent members of
Native Public Media (NPM), Indigenous members of other NARALO At-Large
Structures in the US or Canada and to NARALO unaffiliated members. Other
Indigenous individuals, not in NARALO, are also encouraged and welcome to
apply. The only requirement is that these individuals must NOT be involved
in other ICANN supported travel programs at time of selection.
How are the Tribal Ambassador Project fellowships awarded?

Tribal Ambassador Project Fellowships are awarded by an independent
selection committee based on a mix of criteria including applicant
experience and references. The Selection Committee names are listed on this
webpage as well as a description of the project (see:
https://community.icann.org/x/vw6bAw ).
