ICANN Fellows for Singapore Meeting Announced

This evening, ICANN released the names of the 42 people who were selected for the ICANN Fellowship program, which I previously wrote about. The 42 fellows are from 31 different countries, and they will attend the ICANN meeting in  Singapore in March of 2014. There were 121 applications submitted for this program.

As part of the program, the fellows will have their travel and other expenses paid for by ICANN:  “The fellowship covers the cost of  economy class airfare and hotel, as well as providing a stipend after successful completion of the program, in order to assist in covering some basic expenses incurred by the fellow.”

Listed below are the 42 individuals who were selected to participate in the program. If you qualify, this seems like it would be an excellent opportunity.
