'''[[ICANN Fellow]]''' refers to an individual who is a member of the Internet community and recipient of a grant provided by the ICANN Fellowship Program.
'''NextGen at ICANN''' is an outreach initiative created by [[ICANN]]. Up to 25 end-users and stakeholders are introduced to ICANN during conferences through an "inclusive, supportive, and tailored program." The initiative began at [[ICANN 49]], and featured 25 participants between the ages of 18 and 30. It is a regionally based initiative meant to engage undergraduate and graduate students and introduce them to ICANN.
NextGen at ICANN grew from the work of ICANN's [[Strategy Panel on the Public Responsibility Framework]] as a way to build trust and communication within the Internet community. Its goals include maintaining a "stable, inclusive, and accessible Internet across the globe..." Additionally, the organization seeks to continually engage what the community perceives to be the "next generation" in the Internet ecosystem.
In a blog post pertaining to the initiative, ICANN pointed to [[NetMission]]'s support in the endeavor, and expressed gratitude at the organization's level of collaboration in refining the initiative.<ref>https://www.icann.org/search/#!/?searchText=NextGen@ICANN</ref>
