> *Program ensures global representation* at ICANN’s International Public

> *MARINA DEL REY, Calif.* : The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and
> Numbers has launched the 10th round of Fellowship program applications for
> its 38th International Public Meeting to be held in Brussels, Belgium on
> 20-25 June 2010.
> 
> “Just like the Internet, ICANN is global in scope in its operations,” said
> Theresa Swinehart, ICANN’s Vice President, Global and Strategic
> Partnerships. “Our Fellowship program has had a lot of success at our last 8
> meetings in making sure global voices are heard in the wide variety of
> public forums that it holds.”
> 
> For the Nairobi Meeting, there are 26 fellows from 21 countries, chosen from
> 119 applications received. 10 of the fellows are alumni from at least one of
> the past eight programmes; 14 fellows are first-time attendees to any ICANN
> meeting and 2 have attended past meetings, but are first time fellows.
> Priority is given to applicants who are current residents of developing and
> least developed nations and interested in participating in ICANN and its
> supporting organizations, such as the Governmental Advisory Committee, the
> Country Code Names Supporting Organization, the At-Large and the Generic
> Names Supporting Organization. The Fellowship program will assist in
> covering airfare, hotel and a stipend. Recipients will be expected to
> actively participate in and contribute to ICANN processes. As always,
> registration for ICANN’s meetings is free for anyone wanting to attend.
> 
> Applications for the meeting in Brussels will be accepted from now until
> 1200 PDT (UTC -7) on 19 February 2010. More information, as well as a link
> to the application for a fellowship, is available online at:
> https://forms.icann.org/fellowship/applications/icann38/ or email at
> fellowships at icann.org

> *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.

> Nigeria : Eworld Opens Broadband Forum March
> 12 January 2010
> 
> 
> 
> 
> 
> Nigeria's first broadband forum will open in March 2010. The forum, slated to hold for two days in the first week of March, is aimed at drawing a roadmap for broadband band development and usage in the country.
> 
> Stakeholders are naturally upbeat that 2010 will usher in the broadband revolution, but as it is commonly known wishes alone do not do the job. The Forum is being packaged by eWorld magazine, with support from industry stakeholders.
> 
> Speaking on the imperative of the Forum, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Editor of eWorld Magazine, Mr Aaron Ukodie said, "There are grey areas that must be looked at; a pathway that leads to fruitful deployment, espeacially on the national and users end must be well articulated".
> 
> According to him. though the expected berthing of a number of undersea cables in the New Year signals a good propect for broadband hope, the last mile end must be put in perspective. Already Glo 1 is already anchored on Nigerian shore awaiting activation. WACS and MainOne are making speedy sail towards Nigeria. SAT-3, the old horse awaits its competitors.
> 
> Plotting the pathway early enough in the year ensures that stakeholders do not grope in the various tasks in achieving the expectations of Nigerians.
> 
> An headache -free ebuisness and all the expected e-transactions are premised on the coming developments, Ukodie noted.
> 
> Nigeria's broadband hope is in line with the focus of several developed countries, such as the United States , which is exploring the broadband route for economic revival.
> 
> There are however questions that are begging for answers if the expectations are to be realised.
> 
> For instance, are there effective regulations to drive broadband networks and service provisioning?
