ICANN Continues the Pandemic Internet Access Reimbursement Program

Interested ICANN community members must apply in advance of ICANN77, and those who meet the eligibility requirements will be selected to participate. The application process opens 17 May 2023. The application deadline is, 05 June 2023 at 23:59 UTC. The goal of this program is to facilitate participation in ICANN Public Meetings during the pandemic.
