[Community-Discuss] Larus foundation fellowship

[Anne-vivien Paris]

Dear Noah,

Thank you for your interest in the Foundation. Please let me clarify:

(1) Larus Foundation sponsors events in different regions in addition to
those in Africa. For example, very recently we have sponsored a few
candidates of different ethics to attend ICANN in Morocco. You can find the
list of events we sponsor in the coming future on our website :
https://www.larusfoundation.org/about-the-fellowship/ (simply click the
"apply now" and you will find a list of events).

(2) Regarding your doubt on our 5th FAQ, let me explain that we do not
target any particualr parties/regions. Our 5th FAQ states that "I am from
Africa but I would really like ot attend RIR meetings outside Africa. Will
that be possible?". Africa is randomly selected; you can indeed understand
it is equivalent to "If I am from Asia can I attend meetings outside Asia".
We appreciate you pointing this out - indeed the statement allows room for
overead. However, I think if you take the extra time to read the answer,
things will be clarified - we state explicitly that the Internet is
borderless and participation of Internet governance shall not be restricted
by geographical factors. Let me make it clear that this applies to all
continents in the world.

We thank you for the questions you raised which allows us to clarify
things. My apologies for the wrong name used in the education package - it
was a careless mistake. We will update it accordingly.

Indeed, the community's feedback on us help the Foundation better itself
and we appreciate that.
