> MARINA DEL REY, Calif.: The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names  
> and Numbers is launching the 12th round of applications for the  
> Fellowship program, to facilitate participation in ICANN's 40th  
> International Public Meeting to be held San Francisco, California on  
> 13-18 March 2011.
>
> Over the last 10 meetings, the Fellowship program has proven to be a  
> successful method of capacity building for the ICANN community,  
> making sure global voices are heard in the wide variety of public  
> forums that it holds. As CEO Rod Beckstrom said when addressing the  
> Russian Internet Governance Forum in Moscow last May, "The Internet  
> is a work in progress. It feeds and grows off ideas, and new ideas  
> greatly affect its direction. Its most influential contributors are  
> those who can see the possibilities that others don't. And the most  
> powerful are those whose ideas trigger the imagination of others."  
> We see the Fellowship program playing a major role in bringing those  
> great ideas and idea makers into the Internet community.
>
> Per the program charter, applicants must be citizens of economically  
> eligible countries (ICANN uses the World Bank classification) and  
> priority in selection is given to applicants who are current  
> residents of the region that a ICANN meeting is being held in, as  
> well as those who are active or interested in participating in ICANN  
> and its supporting organizations and advisory committees. In this  
> case, as the United States is not an economically eligible country,  
> applicants from all other ICANN regions will be equally weighted (as  
> long as applicant meets program minimum requirements). The  
> Fellowship program will assist in covering airfare, hotel and a  
> stipend. Recipients will be expected to actively participate in and  
> contribute to ICANN processes, in and after the ICANN meeting. As  
> always, registration for an ICANN meeting is free for anyone wanting  
> to attend.
>
> Applications for the meeting in San Francisco will be accepted from  
> now until 1200 PDT (UTC -7) on 12 November 2010. More information,  
> as well as a link to the application for a fellowship, is available  
> online at: http://www.icann.org/en/fellowships/ or email fellowships at icann.org

> What Is ICANN?
>
>
> To reach another person on the Internet you have to type an address  
> into your computer - a name or a number. That address has to be  
> unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN coordinates  
> these unique identifiers across the world. Without that coordination  
> we wouldn't have one global Internet.
>
> ICANN was formed in 1998. It is a not-for-profit public-benefit  
> corporation with participants from all over the world dedicated to  
> keeping the Internet secure, stable and interoperable. It promotes  
> competition and develops policy on the Internet's unique identifiers.
>
> ICANN doesn't control content on the Internet. It cannot stop spam  
> and it doesn't deal with access to the Internet. But through its  
> coordination role of the Internet's naming system, it does have an  
> important impact on the expansion and evolution of the Internet.
