Thanks AR for the Call - well done all!!<br><br>Just one question (not to you only but to all concerned): How many times can an individual be allowed to receive the Fellowship? I thought New Faces each time would bring New Ideas and Opinions whilst gaining the exposure to the ICANN's Intnl Public Meetings, make contacts etc?.
<br><br>My thinking is that geared towards widening the participation at these major events - it is a voluntary role at the end of the day - I would support the opinion that award of Fellowships should look at the need to have New Faces as much is it is applicable. It is a resource for all to tap into equally because the Internet Phenomenon affects everybody everywhere.
<br><br>It is a humble suggestion<br><br>Well done all!!<br><br>Yassin<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 08/12/2007, <b class="gmail_sendername">Anne-Rachel Inné</b> <<a href="mailto:annerachel@gmail.com">annerachel@gmail.com

<p>Application Round Opens for Paris Meeting Fellowships</p>
<p>Program makes sure global voices heard at ICANN's International
Public Meetings</p>

<p> <strong>MARINA DEL REY, Calif.</strong> : The Internet Corporation for Assigned
Names and Numbers is putting out the call for fellowship program applications
for its 32nd International Public Meeting to be held in Paris from 22-27 June
2008. </p>
<p>"The fellowship program plays a key role in making sure that global
voices are heard at the ICANN meeting and in our various public forums," said
Theresa Swinehart, ICANN's Vice President, Global and Strategic Partnerships. </p>
<p>The 23 fellows from 22 countries who played an active role at the Los Angeles
meeting were chosen from 167 applications received. An additional 10 candidates
chosen in this round were deferred to the New Delhi meeting in February.
Of the fellows at the Los Angeles meeting, 10 had never attended an ICANN meeting
before, and seven were alumni from the inaugural program in San Juan this
past June. </p>
<p> 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, and the Generic Names Supporting Organization.
The fellowship 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. </p>
<p>Applications will be accepted from now until 1200 PDT ( UTC -7) on
11 January 2008. More information, as well as a link to the application for
a fellowship, is available online at: <a href="http://www.icann.org/fellowships/" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://www.icann.org/fellowships/</a> </p>
