CLOSES TODAY: 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.

Program webpage and application [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001PEmIlguBClOvJoH-5...>

The goal of this program is to facilitate participation in ICANN Public Meetings during the pandemic. It offers community members who have limited Internet capacity financial assistance to increase their Internet bandwidth.

Since ICANN77 will be conducted as a hybrid meeting. Only applicants that participate virtually are eligible for this program. Please contact internetreimbursement@icann.org [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001PEmIlguBClOvJoH-5...> for more information

NEW: Update on Meeting Tools for ICANN77

As we've returned to the hybrid participation model, we've determined that the best way forward is to streamline the management of these links. This change will simplify the use of Zoom for both in-person and remote participants, as well as support staff, Language Services, and MTS technicians, resulting in an improved meeting experience.
