ICANN Fellow refers to an individual who is a member of the Internet community and recipient of a grant provided by the ICANN Fellowship Program.

The ICANN Fellowship Program provides financial grants to 25 eligible individuals to attend a given ICANN meeting as to actively contribute to ICANN processes and to become part of the future leaders of the Internet governing body. The grant covers the economy class airfare, hotel accomodation and a stipend needed to attend an ICANN conference.^[1] An effort is made to include more fellows from the region a given meeting is being held in.

There were a total of 116 applications received for ICANN 43, which is to be held in Costa Rica in March, 2012; 29 fellows from 24 different countries were accepted.^[2]

Background

Theresa Swinehart, ICANN Counsel for International Affairs, proposed the implementation of the ICANN Fellowship Program during the Special Meeting of the ICANN Board on April 25, 2007. Swinehart informed the Board that the fellowship program had been under development from the ICANN Operational Plan Project 4F for a significant period of time and it is ready to invite applications for participants in the next ICANN Meeting, which was to be held in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The ICANN Board unanimously approved the implementation of the ICANN Fellowship Program.^[3] The first ICANN Fellowship program was composed of thirty three fellows who were selected from 125 applications.^[4]
