'''ARPANET''' ('''Advanced Research Project Agency Network''') was the original and first world-wide packet-switching network, originally created by a small team of research experts funded by [[DARPA]] in the United States Department of Defense.

[[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.

The basis of the academic research for ARPANET started with Paul Baran, a researcher from RAND, Inc., who would one day be considered one of the fathers of the Internet. In 1962, Baran suggested that a more robust communications network using redundancy and digital technology be designed. Although his idea was dismissed by many, Baran continued to work on developing the idea with colleagues at RAND. He envisioned a method of distributed communications wherein a network of unmanned nodes would serve as switches to route information from one node to another until the information reached its final destination. He later developed packet switching, a method of dividing information into "message blocks"  before sending them out to a network. Each message block was to be sent separately and then rejoined as a whole when reaching the final destination.

The ICANN Fellowship Program provides financial grants to 25-42 eligible individuals to attend a given [[ICANN Meetings|ICANN meeting]] as 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. An effort is made to include more fellows from the region a given meeting is being held in.
