Fifty Fellows from 36 countries have been selected to participate in ICANN's Fellowship program at the 54th Public Meeting in Dublin, 18-22 October 2015. Fourteen Alumni of the Program have been selected to perform the role of Coach to the 36 first and second time attendees, in order to better prepare them for this journey. The Fellows represent all sectors of society including civil, government, academia, business, technical, security, end user groups and country code supporting groups.

For the ICANN54 Meeting, 446 Fellowship applications were received and assessed by an independent selection committee. Priority is given to applicants who meet minimum program requirements, are current residents of developing and least developed nations in the five ICANN regions, and who are interested in participating in ICANN and its supporting organizations, advisory committees or stakeholder groups.
