Hi Jane We decided the mentees and mentors but allowing ICANN to release the information. We encouraged folks from South American, North America, Austraulia, New Zealand and the SAMI of Finland. Many applied from other regions which are part of the ICANN normal Fellowship program. As you know we have serious discrimination in fellowship programmes which compelled us to promote a focused program only for Aboriginal/first nations people. Key is their involvement with ICANN ecosystem. Specially in our case with NARALO which I am the Chair. Note Loris Taylor of Native Public Media a member of NARALO for years is a big proponent of raising the issue of First Nations concerns in ICANN. After many years of pushing the issue we succeeded, not without the typical backlash Noteworthy today and yesterday we had serious meetings with folks working on off the grid power systems in Canada and in Tanzania which maybe of interest to this group since Power is Key. I can share some information on slides, video and papers at the event G Glenn McKnight mcknight.glenn(a)gmail.com skype gmcknight twitter gmcknight 289-830 6259 .

Hi Judith – Yes.  I was slightly confused as my brain is on local access networks vs DNS/DNSSEC/other. We are keen to support indigenous (well, all marginalized and communities that need connectivity – within our resources). See you tomorrow at the USIGF.

We just completed the round for Abu Dhabi and will be announcing the ambassadors shortly. In a few months we will re open the applications for Icann61 in Puerto Rico.
