	Fellowship Program to Enhance Global Participation in ICANN
	
	MARINA DEL REY, Calif.: People from across the world will have
more opportunities to attend ICANN's 29th Public Meeting in San Juan,
Puerto Rico thanks to the trial global fellowships program
<http://www.icann.org/fellowships/>  launched today. 
	
	"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.
	
	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. 
	
	"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. 
	
	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. 
	
	"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."
