<p>ICANN announces 56 individuals from 41 countries have been selected to participate in ICANN's Fellowship program at the 58th Public Meeting in Copenhagen, Denmark 11-16 March 2017. 35 of the selected candidates will be attending their first ICANN meeting.

candidates represent all sectors of society including; civil, government, ccTLD operations, academia, facets of the business community, technical, security and end user groups.</p>
<p>The Fellowship program seeks to create a broader and more diverse base of knowledgeable constituents with priority given to candidates currently living in underserved and underrepresented communities around the world, those who represent diversity of gender,
