in ICANN<BR><BR></FONT>MARINA DEL REY, Calif.</B>: People from across the
world will have more opportunities to attend ICANN's 29th Public Meeting in
San Juan, Puerto Rico thanks to the <A
href="http://www.icann.org/fellowships/">trial global fellowships program</A>
launched today. <BR><BR>"We want to foster increased participation from
developing and least developed nations at our public meetings and this
fellowship program will do just that," said Paul Levins, ICANN's Executive
Officer and Vice President Corporate Affairs.<BR><BR>Priority will be given to
current residents of developing and least developed nations who are interested
in participating in the ICANN government 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 ICANN’s meetings is free for anyone
wanting to attend. <BR><BR>"The program will play a key role in meeting part
of ICANN's operational plan which has been through extensive public
discussions and consultations to create a program to encourage and find
participation by interested parties in developing countries," Levins said.
<BR><BR>After the San Juan meeting, which takes place 25–30 June, ICANN will
get feedback on the program from participants and the public, and identify
areas where there might be improvements. <BR><BR>"As a global organization
ICANN is working hard to reach out and work with people from every part of the
world, and especially individuals and organizations from developing
countries," Levins added. "Making sure we have participation from people who
normally couldn’t attend means ICANN’s work in the administration of the
Domain Name and Internet Protocol addressing systems is more accountable and
transparent." <BR></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
