Internet number resource policy, like other areas of Internet governance, is powered by community participation. To encourage and foster new voices and active members within the ARIN region, the ARIN Fellowship Program provides a specialized, interactive learning opportunity to individuals interested in these aspects of Internet operations and their professional growth in the industry.
Fellows are selected twice a year to participate in the multiweek program before and during an ARIN Public Policy and Members Meeting. Fellows receive an in-depth introduction to the workings of the ARIN organization and Policy Development Process (PDP), along with opportunities for networking with the ARIN community. With the personal support of Mentors from the ARIN community, Fellows progress through an engaging agenda of presentations, discussions, and Q&As with ARIN leadership — including ARIN staff and Advisory Council members. The sessions provide an overview of Internet governance, Internet number resource policy and its development, ARIN services and operations, and the Internet Number Registry System.
There are two Fellow participation options: in-person and virtual.
All selected Fellows will participate in weekly virtual sessions from 15 September through 27 October and will also take part in the ARIN 58 Public Policy and Members Meeting, which will be held 22–23 October 2026.
In-person Fellows will receive airfare and hotel accommodations to attend ARIN 58 in Miami, Florida, as well as a small stipend. Virtual Fellows will not receive a stipend; however, they may choose to attend the meeting in person at their own expense. Those who do not travel will participate in ARIN 58 virtually.
All selected Fellows will also receive complimentary registration to NANOG 98, which precedes ARIN 58. Registration will be provided either virtually or in person, based on the Fellow's participation designation.
The applications for the ARIN 58 Fellowship Program will be accepted 6-19 July. Download the informational flyer here.
