[DCAD] Hello. I am the one from Mongolia. Re I need to clarify a few things. First, may I get information about this fellowship program? Second, can I myself apply as a fellow for this program as this Internet governance accessibility is zero in our country?: Volunteer Opportunity: Join the Fellowship Committee of the IGF Dynamic Coalition on Accessibility and Disability

Dear Dr. Muhammad Shabbir,

Greetings from India!

I am writing to express my interest in joining the Fellowship Committee as
a volunteer. I am deeply passionate about promoting accessibility and
inclusivity for people with disabilities and am excited about the
opportunity to contribute to DCAD’s mission.
My Background and Experience:

   - I am the President of Progressive Life Center (PLC), a non-profit
   organization dedicated to empowering individuals with disabilities, with a
   particular focus on the deaf community in India. Our vision is to create an
   inclusive society where every individual, regardless of their disability,
   has the opportunity to achieve their full potential. Our mission is to
   provide free education, training, job support, and comprehensive services
   to the needy and poor deaf community.
   - I have a solid understanding of accessibility and disability issues,
   which I have gained through my work with PLC and other initiatives focused
   on disability advocacy.
   - I am committed to promoting inclusivity and have actively participated
   in initiatives that support people with disabilities.
   - I am capable of working independently and meeting deadlines, ensuring
   that tasks are completed efficiently and effectively.
   - While I do not have direct experience with fellowship programs, I am
   eager to learn and contribute my skills to the Fellowship Committee.

I am particularly excited about the opportunity to help select strong
candidates for the DCAD Fellowship and to enhance the fellowship program.
Additionally, as IGF2024 is being held in Saudi Arabia, I am keen to assist
in ensuring strong representation from the Saudi disability community.

I am enthusiastic about the chance to contribute to the advancement of
accessibility and disability issues on a global stage, and I look forward
to networking with like-minded professionals and gaining valuable
experience in fellowship program management.

Thank you for considering my application. I am available to discuss my
application further at your convenience and can be reached at [Your Email]
or [Your Phone Number].

Best regards,

Shalmon Dongre
