Do you want to better understand how the Internet is run?
Do you want your voice to be heard in YOUR region and by the global
Internet community?

ICANN is looking for the 'next generation' of individuals who are

eligible for THIS ICANN Meeting.

   between the ages of 18 and 30.*  Since applicants must be from the
   region in which the meeting is being held in, it's important to understand
   what ‘regions’ mean. ICANNhas established five geographic regions:
   Africa, Europe, North America, Latin America and Asia. ICANN's meetings
   rotate through these geographic locations using the new ICANN Meeting
   Strategy <https://meetings.icann.org/en/future-meeting-strategy>. For

   program if you meet the Fellowship criteria (Learn More
