==Fellowship==
The ICANN Fellowship Program (which produces the ICANN Fellows) provides limited financial grants to eligible individuals to attend a given ICANN meeting to actively contribute to ICANN processes, the Multistakeholder Model and to become part of the future leaders of the Internet governing body. The grant covers the economy class airfare, hotel accommodation, and a stipend needed to attend an ICANN conference.

In November 2006, [[Susan Crawford]] led a discussion that resulted in a proposal of recommendations for implementing ICANN meetings in a more efficient, low-cost, and engaging way. Her paper was broken down into three parts: a description of the goals of ICANN meetings; a list of criticisms and concerns about the meetings; proposed solutions for the criticisms. Among other things, her recommendations included a public forum at the beginning of each of the three annual meetings, an online docket that tracks the status of all decisions made, and the establishment of a central hub for one of the three annual meetings. She also called for clearly stated agendas prior to the meetings and accountability in recording and publishing meeting minutes.<ref>[http://archive.icann.org/en/meetings/white-paper.htm Meeting White Paper], ICANN.org.
