Fellowship Application Round Opens for ICANN International Public Meeting 43
in San Jose, Costa Rica

Program Ensures Global Representation at ICANN's Public Meetings

30 September 2011

MARINA DEL REY, California: The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and
Numbers is now accepting online applications for the 15th round of the
Fellowship program. Successful candidates will participate in the ICANN
meeting to be held in San Jose, Costa Rica from 11-16 March 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 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 Costa Rica will be accepted from 00:00 UTC
on 1 October 2011 until 00:00 UTC on 14 November 2011. Successful candidates
will be posted on the ICANN Fellowship webpage by 22 December 2011.
 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.
