While we are excited to offer community members the opportunity for in-person participation, we are equally thrilled to continue implementing the valuable lessons learned during

NEW: ICANN73 Fellowship Program Participants Post-Meeting Report
The Fellowship Program was founded in 2007, in order to create a broader and more diverse base of knowledgeable constituents from underserved and underrepresented communities around
the world. As a result of the ICANN Fellowship Program review and community consultations, since ICANN65 the new process for the Program is in place. One of the key changes suggested by the community is that each Fellowship cohort will produce a post-meeting
report to be publicly available, which has been piloted at ICANN63 and now is an integral part of the Program requirements. ICANN73 cohort of 31 Fellows, who participated in the virtual Community Forum, produced their post-meeting report.
The report is available
here [r20.rs6.net].

More information will be shared directly via email, including detailed guidance about the process, candidate qualification requirements, and key dates.
