> How Do I Apply for the Fellowship Program
>
> The Fellowship Program has demonstrated success in its mission to  
> build capacity in the ICANN multi-stakeholder environment through  
> focused interactive engagement between newcomers to ICANN and  
> community members at each of the ICANN meetings. The program seeks  
> to identify members of the Internet community who either have not  
> previously been able to participate in ICANN processes and  
> constituent organizations, or those who require further exposure to  
> the Internet community and its work but cannot travel and attend a  
> meeting without financial support. This outreach program seeks  
> participants from developing regions and countries of the world, in  
> order to help create a broader base of knowledgeable constituents  
> who will become the new voice of experience in their regions and  
> beyond.
>
> Applications to become an ICANN Fellow are assessed for each  
> meeting by an independent selection committee. Priority is given to  
> applicants who: meet minimum program requirements; are current  
> residents of developing and least developed nations in the five  
> ICANN regions; and are interested in participating in the ICANN  
> multi-stakeholder process and its supporting organizations,  
> advisory committees or stakeholder groups. An effort will be made  
> to include participants from the Asia-Pacific region as the site of  
> the ICANN meeting.
>
> All confirmed fellowship participants must comply with the terms  
> and conditions of the Fellowship program, as outlined at http:// 
> www.icann.org/en/about/participate/fellowships/terms-conditions. As  
> stated within these terms and conditions, ICANN is a California non- 
> profit public benefit corporation and must therefore comply with  
> all the laws and regulations of California and the United States.  
> Fellows are responsible for obtaining all travel visas once  
> accepted into the program. ICANN will purchase tickets for Fellows  
> after all necessary documentation has been obtained and Fellows  
> demonstrate that they have obtained all necessary travel visas.
>
> Once all of the requirements for travel are met, the Fellowship  
> program arranges for and covers the costs for airfare and hotel, as  
> well as providing a stipend to assist with some meeting and  
> subsistence costs. The stipend is provided after each selected  
> candidate successfully completes the requirements of the Fellowship  
> program, Recipients will be expected to actively participate in and  
> contribute to ICANN processes during and after the meeting. As  
> always, registration for ICANN's meetings is free for anyone  
> wanting to attend.
