<p><strong>With the announcement of ICANN56 relocation to

June 2016 is now open. This round remains open until 18
April 2016 and successful candidates will be announced on
the ICANN website, 2 May 2016.</p>
<p><strong>*Please note <a href="https://meetings.icann.org/en/future-meeting-strategy" target="_blank">Meeting B</a> is specifically focused on policy making and
on-going work within ICANN Communities.</strong></p>
<h3>The NextGen@ICANN Program</h3>
<p>The NextGen@ICANN program remains the same for Meeting A, B
and C: it is an education and awareness based experience,
designed for a smaller, younger and more region-specific
group of participants. Applicants must be between the ages
of 18 and 30, live in the region of the meeting and be
engaged in some level of higher education, with focus on
Internet related subject matter. Each selected member will
deliver a 5-10 minute presentation on a topic relevant to
the community. Recent presentation topics include Internet
governance, DNS and the future of the Internet.</p>
