    ICANN Announces Global Indigenous Ambassador Program

14 June 2017

LOS ANGELES – 14 June 2017 – The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names 
and Numbers (ICANN) today announced the creation of the Global 
Indigenous Ambassador Program. The program establishes two Indigenous 
Ambassadors, to be selected from underrepresented indigenous 
communities. Through the inclusion of a broader and more diverse base of 
knowledgeable constituents, ICANN will be better equipped to support the 
next generation of the global Internet community. "This is an exciting 
opportunity for two Indigenous Ambassadors to learn about ICANN and the 
At-Large community, representing the best interests of Internet end 
users," states Loris Taylor, President & CEO, Native Public Media.

ICANN is now accepting applications for two Global Indigenous 
Ambassadors. Applicants must be members of unserved or underserved 
tribal or native communities and meet the ICANN Fellowship Program 
criteria[icann.org]

ICANN wants participants to learn as much as possible during ICANN60. As 
part of the program, Indigenous Ambassadors will:

  * Work with an indigenous mentor for the duration of the conference.
  * Attend the ICANN Newcomer Sunday meeting with a Public
    Responsibility Support team representative who will facilitate the
    session to ensure inclusion.
  * Participate in the Fellowship Morning sessions Monday through
    Thursday to gain an understanding of and experience with ICANN and
    its multi-stakeholder community.
  * Submit a detailed report within 30 days after the conference –
    describing activities and assessing the Ambassador's experience.
    These reports help ICANN in evaluating future Fellowship efforts.

*ICANN encourages anyone who is qualified to apply for this special 
opportunity!*
