APSIG/Amazon Fellowships
The APSIG-Amazon Fellowship Program is meant to identify candidates who deserve support for participating at annual meetings of the Internet Governance Forum (IGF). The program, supported by APSIG and Amazon, started in 2017, and will support candidates to participate annual IGF.
The 2018 APSIG-Amazon Fellowship Subcommittee constituted by APSIG is tasked with identifying 3 or more applicants, based on their Letter of Intent and other parameters, to be forwarded to Amazon, who will further short-list 3 candidates for full support. APSIG will fund additional candidates as APSIG Fellows with full or partial support.

The Subcommittee will use the following procedure to identify candidates:
1. Candidates submit a Letter of Intent which will be scrutinized and applicants short-listed. Additional information may be sought from candidates for this process. See the Call for Letters of Intent for further information.
2. Workshop and other proposals by applicants will be reviewed and comments provided for their improvement by the Committee members.
3. After IGF announces the list of selected workshops, the Subcommittee will make their final choice of around 3 or more candidates. Preference will be given to candidates with (accepted) workshop proposals from developing countries; delegates of national SIGs and panel speakers on accepted workshops from developing countries; and other applicants, in that order.
4. After the IGF, selected candidates are required to submit a report to APSIG and Amazon.
