Applications are invited from eligible candidates for the ICANN Fellowship Program 2022.
About ICANN Fellowship Program
The goal of the ICANN Fellowship Program is to strengthen the diversity of the multistakeholder model by fostering opportunities for individuals from underserved and underrepresented communities to become active participants in the ICANN community.
Fellows are exposed to the workings of the ICANN community, are assigned a mentor, and receive training across different areas of knowledge and skill building before, during, and after an ICANN Public Meeting. Travel assistance to attend the meeting is also provided.
Eligibility
Candidates from all regions and sectors are welcome to apply to the ICANN Fellowship Program.
Participants of the Fellowship Program must:
-
Be at least 21 years of age

Be interested in, or already engaged in, the various components of ICANN’s work in policy building, the operation of the Domain Name System and the security and stability of the global Internet
-
Complete mandatory ICANN Learn course(s);
-
NOT be involved in or associated with other ICANN supported travel programs at time of selection
-
Policy Forum applicants must have successfully completed an ICANN Fellowship
-

-
