<p>Dear Friends</p>
<p>Whilst I support anything that supports participation, I still
would like to question why this program is limited to US/CA tribal
members. There are many tribal groups throughout the world that
are disadvantaged, have specific needs and contributions, and
whose voice needs to be included in ICANN. I encourage all other
RALOs , to implement similar programs.</p>
<p>Yours</p>

Ambassadors Project addresses the digital divide
throughout indigenous communities and specifically
aims to generate increased awareness and understanding
of Internet governance development within un-served
and under-served Tribal communities. The Tribal
Ambassadors, in representing indigenous groups in the
US and Canada, will be assigned a Coach with a goal to
gain overall ICANN experience and understanding of the
Internet multi-stakeholder community. Additional
details and requirements are available on the At-Large
Tribal Ambassadorship Workspace (see: </span><a

<p>Th<span style="color:#1f497d">e </span><span
style="color:windowtext">At-Large T</span>ribal
Ambassadors Project is a complement to the current <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://bit.ly/2avhLDF"
target="_blank">ICANN Fellowship program</a> <span
style="color:windowtext">that has a </span>goal to
create a broader and more regionally diverse base of
knowledgeable constituents to build capacity within the
ICANN Multi-stakeholder Model. Participation in the
program at an ICANN Meeting is a "fast track" experience
of engagement into that community model, with
presentations designed to facilitate understanding of
the many pieces and parts of ICANN while providing
opportunities to network and promoting interaction with
staff and community leaders.</p>
<h3><span>Who may apply for and be awarded a Tribal
Ambassadors Project fellowship?</span></h3>
<p><span style="color:windowtext">The Project is targeted
at individuals who identify with, or are part of an
indigenous group in the US and Canada. These people
are either new to the ICANN environment, are familiar
with ICANN but have yet to attend a face-to-face
meeting, or have started participating in ICANN by
other means but are in need of travel funding in order
to broaden their knowledge and deepen their
engagement. Priority will be given to constituent
members of Native Public Media (NPM), Indigenous
members of other NARALO At-Large Structures in the US
or Canada and to NARALO unaffiliated members. Other
Indigenous individuals, not in NARALO, are also
encouraged and welcome to apply. The only requirement
is that these individuals must NOT be involved in
other ICANN supported travel programs at time of
selection.</span></p>
<h3><span>How are the Tribal Ambassador Project
fellowships awarded?</span></h3>
<p><span style="color:windowtext">Tribal Ambassador
Project Fellowships are awarded by an independent
selection committee based on a mix of criteria
including applicant experience and references. The
Selection Committee names are listed on this webpage
as well as a description of the project (see: </span><a
