ARIN 55 Fellows: ARIN 55

Internet governance and number resource policy are powered by community participation.

The ARIN Fellowship Program provides a specialized, interactive learning opportunity to individuals interested in these aspects of the Internet and their professional growth in the industry.

A group of Fellows is selected twice a year to participate in the monthlong program before, during, and after an ARIN Public Policy and Members Meeting. Fellows receive an in-depth, expert-guided introduction to the workings of the ARIN organization and Policy Development Process, along with opportunities for networking and direct participation in the policy process.

What our Fellows do...

Fellows progress through an engaging and approachable agenda of presentations, discussions, and Q&As with ARIN leadership.

Pre-meeting sessions provide an overview of Internet governance, Internet number resource policy and its development, ARIN services and operations, and the Internet Number Registry System.

Gain the knowledge and confidence to join in community discussions, propose new ideas, and become part of the future of Internet and policy in the ARIN region.

Members of the ARIN Advisory Council and seasoned community members serve as mentors, providing advice, sharing their experience, and answering questions.
