budget, I would say that for low developed &amp; developing countries with high 
Internet adoption rates, increase in Global engagement budget is quite 
encouraging. The learning experience accomplished through ICANN fellowship 
program has given me a chance to understand issues like IDNs ccTLD, IPv6 &amp; 
DNSSEC and put contributions towards these issues in my organization and 
country. Improving the GAC representation, increasing fellowship participation 
and enhancing global presence would definitely contribute a lot in developing 
economies. Moreover, in view of cyber threats and Internet stability, increase 
in SSR budget would be helpful to address security concerns which may continue 
to appear.&nbsp;<SPAN style="mso-spacerun:
