Dear NPOC Members,

This is an clarification on the my latest post about the Fellowship Application 
Round for ICANN47.  Eligible applicants must be from developing countries only. 
 See the text of the application guidelines below.

Thanks to Klaus Stoll and Danilo Piaggesi for their quick eye and pointing this 
out to me.

The programme is targeted at individuals new to the ICANN environment from 
government, the ccTLD community, academic, civil and business constituents as 
well as non-profits, who are NOT involved in or associated with other ICANN 
supported travel programmes.

above.

Successful applicants will have demonstrated:

a part of the next generation of ICANN leadership
*       A role or interest in the Internet space
*       An interest in contributing to:
o       ICANN policy development processes.

How Do I Apply for the Fellowship Program

The Fellowship Program has demonstrated success in its mission to build 
capacity in the ICANN multi-stakeholder environment through focused interactive 
engagement between newcomers to ICANN and community members at each of the 
ICANN meetings. The program seeks to identify members of the Internet community 
who either have not previously been able to participate in ICANN processes and 
constituent organizations, or those who require further exposure to the 
Internet community and its work but cannot travel and attend a meeting without 
financial support. This outreach program seeks participants from developing 
regions and countries of the world, in order to help create a broader base of 
knowledgeable constituents who will become the new voice of experience in their 
regions and beyond.
