APIGA Programme
Q: What are my responsibilities as a participant?
Before the 5-day academy commences in South Korea, you are required to complete the Pre-requisite Online Learning modules from ISOC and ICANN. These modules will take over 3-4 weeks to complete.
During the academy, there will be many opportunities for you to discuss views and present to your coursemates. In particular, the mock ICANN Meeting provides a role-play setting that is designed for you to gain first-hand experience of how ICANN meetings are conducted and better understanding of the ICANN multistakeholder decision-making process. You will be expected to prepare for, and present in the mock ICANN Meeting.
Upon completion of the program, you will be part of the APIGA alumni network. We hope you will continue to be part of the Internet ecosystem and contribute to regional and global Internet governance.
Q: When will the Pre-requisite Online Learning start?
The Prerequisite Online Learning details will be sent to selected participants closer to the date. It is expected from mid-June to early July.
