Application Round Opens for Nairobi Meeting Fellowships

Program ensures global representation at ICANN¹s International Public Meetings

29 September 2009

MARINA DEL REY, Calif.: The Internet Corporation 
for Assigned Names and Numbers has launched the 
ninth round of fellowship program applications 
for its 37th International Public Meeting to be 
held in Nairobi, Kenya from 7-12 March 2009.

³Just like the Internet, ICANN is global in scope 
in its operations,² said Theresa Swinehart , 
ICANN's Vice President, Global and Strategic 
Partnerships. ³Our fellowship program, through 
the contribution of alumni from the previous 7 
meetings, continues to experience success in 
making sure global voices are heard in the wide 
variety of public forums that it holds.²

For the upcoming Seoul Meeting, there are 35 
fellows selected from 27 countries, chosen from 
132 applications received. 10 of the fellows are 
alumni from at least one of the past seven 
programmes; 21 fellows are first-time attendees 
to any ICANN meeting and 4 have attended past 
meetings, but are first time fellows. 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 ICANN¹s meetings is 
free for anyone wanting to attend.

Applications for the meeting in Nairobi will be 
accepted from now until 1200 PDT (UTC -7) on 6 
November 2009. More information, as well as a 
link to the application for a fellowship, is 
available online at:
