Hi All,
Forgive me if this is a double post, but I thought you might know of
individuals interested in the Fellowships ICANN grants (which include
travel and expenses for ICANN meetings). This one is for the fall
meeting in Toronto.
Best,
Kathy

    Fellowship Application Round Opens for ICANN International Public
    Meeting 45 in Toronto, Canada

Program Ensures Global Representation at ICANN's Public Meetings

23 May 2012

*MARINA DEL REY, California*: The Internet Corporation for Assigned
Names and Numbers is now accepting online applications for the 17th
round of the Fellowship program. Successful candidates will participate
in the ICANN meeting to be held in Toronto, Canada from 14-18 October 2012.

The Fellowship program is open to applicants who are current residents
of developing and least developed nations and interested in
participating in ICANN and its supporting organizations, constituencies
and stakeholder groups. Priority is given to individuals new to the
ICANN environment from government and the ccTLD community, as well as
those from academic, civil, business and non-profit entities, which are
NOT involved in or associated with other ICANN supported travel
programs. The program provides the support and opportunity for these
participants to gain knowledge on how to have their voices heard in the
Internet community and ICANN. More information regarding terms and
conditions, as well as eligibility is available online at
http://www.icann.org/en/fellowships/ or email at fellowships at icann.org
<mailto:fellowships at icann.org> regarding any questions about this
process or program.

The Fellowship program arranges the airfare, hotel and a stipend for
those individuals selected to participate in this ICANN meeting.
Recipients are expected to actively participate in and contribute to
ICANN processes, both at the meeting and in the future. As always,
registration for ICANN's meetings is free for anyone wanting to attend.

Applications for the meeting in Toronto will be accepted from 23:00 UTC
on 23 May 2012 until 23:59 UTC on 8 July 2012. Successful candidates
will be posted on the ICANN Fellowship webpage by 17 August 2012.


      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.
