In line with one of ICANN’s FY21-25 Strategic Goals <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/strategic-plan-2021-2025-24jun19...> to “support and grow active, informed, and effective stakeholder participation,” the ICANN for Beginners Virtual Program expands virtual participation and engagement opportunities for newcomers through introductory content. If you are new to ICANN, the program will provide you with a first-class beginner experience by: 1. *Creating a positive impression *that affirms how beginners' participation can add value to both their professional development and the global Internet ecosystem (e.g. why engage?); 2. *Building an understanding of ICANN*; and 3. *Fostering participation *by helping beginners learn how to participate and engage at ICANN. Participation in the program’s webinars is open to all individuals who are new at ICANN and who wish to learn more about specific topics. These webinars will serve as a complement to ICANN’s other newcomer programs, such as the Fellowship Program and NextGen@ICANN Program. *ICANN for Beginners: An Introduction* will take place on: - *02 Nov 2022 at 2pm UTC* - To attend the webinar, at this date and time, please register at *this link* <https://icann.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJwofuigrj8oH9I1GuAL5Ut5Fm73ml_COyJF> . - *03 Nov 2022 at 6am UTC* - To attend the webinar, at this date and time, please register at *this link* <https://icann.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJcrd--prTkqH9L5LXP4gqJ9pbe3K-Or_6KI> .
