Announcing the Inaugural At-Large Tribal Ambassador Fellowship to the ICANN 57
Meeting in India





The At-Large Tribal Ambassadors Project addresses the digital divide throughout
indigenous communities and specifically aims to generate increased awareness and
understanding of Internet governance development within un-served and
under-served Tribal communities. The Tribal Ambassadors, in representing
indigenous groups in the US and Canada, will be assigned a Coach with a goal to
gain overall ICANN experience and understanding of the Internet
multi-stakeholder community. Additional details and requirements are available
on the At-Large Tribal Ambassadorship Workspace (see: https://community.icann.org/x/vw6bAw ).

The Fellowship covers travel, hotel, transportation costs, and a stipend to
Hyderabad, India for the duration of the ICANN meeting for two Tribal
Ambassadors from November 3-9, 2016. Applicants will need a passport and Visa for travel. Visa fees will be covered
by the Tribal Ambassadorship Fellowship as part of the travel support .


Applications can be found at this link, https://goo.gl/forms/gz9XQs7vzM5V4L693 . The application deadline is August 14, 2016.

ABOUT THE PRO JECT
Th e At-Large T ribal Ambassadors Project is a complement to the current ICANN Fellowship program that has a goal to create a broader and more regionally diverse base of knowledgeable
constituents to build capacity within the ICANN Multi-stakeholder Model.
Participation in the program at an ICANN Meeting is a "fast track" experience of
engagement into that community model, with presentations designed to facilitate
understanding of the many pieces and parts of ICANN while providing
opportunities to network and promoting interaction with staff and community
leaders.

WHO MAY APPLY FOR AND BE AWARDED A TRIBAL AMBASSADORS PROJECT FELLOWSHIP?
The Project is targeted at individuals who identify with, or are part of an
indigenous group in the US and Canada. These people are either new to the ICANN
environment, are familiar with ICANN but have yet to attend a face-to-face
meeting, or have started participating in ICANN by other means but are in need
of travel funding in order to broaden their knowledge and deepen their
engagement. Priority will be given to constituent members of Native Public Media
(NPM), Indigenous members of other NARALO At-Large Structures in the US or
Canada and to NARALO unaffiliated members. Other Indigenous individuals, not in
NARALO, are also encouraged and welcome to apply. The only requirement is that
these individuals must NOT be involved in other ICANN supported travel programs
at time of selection.

HOW ARE THE TRIBAL AMBASSADOR PROJECT FELLOWSHIPS AWARDED?
Tribal Ambassador Project Fellowships are awarded by an independent selection
committee based on a mix of criteria including applicant experience and
references. The Selection Committee names are listed on this webpage as well as
a description of the project (see: https://community.icann.org/x/vw6bAw ).
