[bestbits] Fwd: ICANN News Alert -- NextGen at ICANN Application Round Open for ICANN56

[Ayden Fabien Férdeline]

Hello everyone,

If you know anyone living in *Europe *who is still in school and interested
in the field of Internet governance, please encourage them to apply for the
NextGen at ICANN 56 programme. This is a great introduction to how policy
making processes work within the ICANN ecosystem, and travel to Finland is
fully funded. Please note that *applications close on 18 April*.

For those in *North America*, applications for the NextGen at ICANN 57
programme in Puerto Rico will open a few weeks later - I'll send details
once I have them.

Best wishes,

Ayden Férdeline

The NextGen at 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.
