Hi Glenn and all..
Over the past few years it has been my pleasure to work with you and others
in At Large on these worthy initiatives towards broader engagement with
communities that seem to be not as accessible to ICANN or ICANN accessible
to them as other nations.
In this particular case, as Save has already pointed out, each of the
nations that you have noted are eligible for the Fellowship Program, as we
use both the World Economic Bank and the SIDN UN listing and they all fall
under that criteria.
I have attached the most recent list of eligible countries for the
Fellowship program; I check our application list against the World Bank and
SIDN list prior to each Fellowship application launch to make sure a country
has not been added or taken off the list before the new application goes
live.
Hope this is what you were looking for, although a trip to any of the
islands would be grand :)

Hi Janice
I hope all is well
In the past under Garth's leadership we have tried to reach out to the US
territories for their involvement with ICANN. ie. NARALO
In research we discovered that these US terrioritories live in a limbo
situation with regards to their political status. On one hand they are US
territory but the citizens do not have the right to vote. My concern is
that they according to the UN research exist in a situation that places
them as US property but they have income similar to least developed states
https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/index.php?menu=1523
The list from UN Listing of Small Island Developing Nations
American Samoa
Federated State of Micronesia
Guam
Marianas
Marshall Islands
These five locations have unique Internet access issues. Among of which
is some of the most expensive Internet service rates.
My understanding is that these locations do not qualify for an application
to the ICANN Fellowship program due to their US affiliation despite their
low per capita income, Is this correct?
Can you please provide us with clarification on this issue. What is the
process of rectifying this situation.
Happy to chat about this. ( not looking for a trip to the islands)
Thanks
Glenn
