ICANN 88 Application, Outreach and Engagement

 

 What an incredible session and what an energy ? 

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us today for the #ICANN88 Fellowship Application Outreach & Engagement session! The program was full with energy, curiosity, and thoughtful questions made this conversation truly meaningful. 

With a huge presence and new mind reminded us why community driven internet governance matters so much every question you asked and every insight you shared is a step toward a more inclusive, informed, and connected digital future. 

We had people connecting in from different region this shows the interest in community and where we should target.

A special note of gratitude to our incredible speakers who generously shared their time, wisdom, and lived experience:

 Shreedeep Rayamajhi (Nepal) — ICANN Mentor, ICANN 78–83

 Barkha Manral (India) — IIRO Founder, ICANN Fellow 78, 80, 83

 Aris Ignacio (Philippines) — Incoming ICANN APRALO Chair, College of Information Technology and Engineering

Thank you for demystifying the Fellowship journey from what it is, to who should apply, to what applicants can truly expect. Your guidance will open doors for so many first-time applicants across the region! 

To all our attendees  this is just the beginning. We encourage you to:

 Take what you learned back to your local communities

 Mentor someone who's curious about internet governance

 Apply for the #ICANNFellowship and take that leap

 Stay engaged, stay curious, and keep the conversation going

Let's keep building a stronger, more diverse pipeline of voices in internet governance — one fellow, one community, one conversation at a time. 

Tag someone who should know about the ICANN Fellowship!
